Threat to Arvind Kejriwal: Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Demands Ransom

Serious Threat to Delhi's Former Chief Minister

A police complaint filed by a member of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) reveals that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has issued a death threat to former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal, demanding a ransom of ₹7 crores. According to the complaint, an unidentified individual claiming to be part of the gang threatened that if the specified amount was not paid, both Kejriwal and his daughter Harshita would be killed.

Jarnail Singh, the AAP MLA representing the Tilak Nagar constituency in the Delhi Assembly, received threatening phone calls and WhatsApp messages regarding this matter. Following these threats, he submitted a written complaint to the Senior Superintendent of Police (SSP) in Mohali, Punjab, on November 6, requesting enhanced security for Kejriwal and his family.

The police have registered a First Information Report (FIR) and assigned the investigation to the Cyber Crime Police Station in Mohali. The cyber police team is currently conducting a thorough examination of the suspect's call records, IP logs, and related technical details.

It is noteworthy that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, led by the incarcerated gangster, has a history of targeting high-profile individuals, including celebrities, singers, and politicians. The gang's international criminal network gained attention last month when three assailants fired at actor Tiger Shroff's car. Subsequently, two alleged associates of Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the attack on social media. Prior to targeting Shroff, the gang had also threatened Bollywood stars such as Salman Khan, Ranveer Singh, Aamir Khan, and director Rohit Shetty. Additionally, the gang was implicated in the murder of renowned Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in May 2022 and the assassination of Maharashtra politician Baba Siddiqui in October 2024.

The responsibility for the attack on Tiger Shroff was claimed by Anil Pandit, who resides in the United States. Reports suggest that he is deliberately keeping the gang in the spotlight to divert attention from Satwinder Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, a key associate of Bishnoi who is currently wanted by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). The FBI has classified this gang as the 'Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group' (OCG), which is known for operating across international borders, recruiting local shooters from abroad, and threatening high-profile individuals and businessmen to fund its criminal activities.
