Connection To Sidhu Moose Wala Murder
Sidhu Moose Wala, a well-known singer, and politician, was shot and killed in May close to his home, sparking an extensive investigation. Following his death, the Punjab government’s decision to reduce his level of security came under intense criticism. In the endless depths of the research, more than 30 suspects got arrested with solid linkages to Bishnoi.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang allegedly devised an even more complex plan to murder Moose Wala following the failure of Mani Rayya and Mandeep Singh, nicknamed Toofan, to kill him. They put together two further modules, each with six shooters, and outfitted them with high-tech weapons like AK-47s and grenades.
Plan B To Kill Salman Khan
Salman Khan, a famous Bollywood actor, was the target of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang’s “Plan B.” In Bombay, the gang members shop close to the actor’s farmhouse to prepare for the assault.
Each shooter carried a handgun cartridge for small guns to kill Salman Khan. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang members had developed relationships with security officers outside the farmhouse to learn more about Salman Khan’s travel history and activities. They even pretended to be admirers to know more about Salman Khan.
Salman Khan had twice visited the farmhouse while the shooters were standing watch, but the gang members passed up the opportunity to launch an attack. According to the authorities, Lawrence Bishnoi is a member of the Bishnoi tribe, which reveres blackbucks. After assessing the threat level, Mumbai Police increased Salman’s security.
