Bishnoi Gang: Indian Syndicate’s Fear in Canada has Long Been Recognized by Experts
According to city councillor Kash Heed in Richmond, B.C., alleged members of an Indian gang, led by Lawrence Bishnoi, have been causing fear among members of the South Asian diaspora in Canada for some time.
Heed mentioned how the Bishnoi gang had a notorious reputation before the RCMP recently accused them of orchestrating violent crimes on Canadian soil.
The Mounties claimed that Indian diplomats shared information about Sikh separatists with the Indian government, which then passed it on to Bishnoi.
Heed described Lawrence Bishnoi as a violent individual known in India, with concerns rising when the Bishnoi gang gained notoriety.
Recently, the federal government expelled six Indian diplomats after the RCMP revealed evidence of Indian agents being involved in crimes like killings and extortion in Canada.
