The so-called Lawrence Bishnoi gang has claimed responsibility for the attack on actor Tiger Shroff in Mumbai last evening and sent one of its ‘representatives’ named Anil Pandit to share a message behind the murder attempt.
The Haryana Police and the Special Task Force (STF) took action and arrested the shooters involved in these cases. These incidents have made it crucial to investigate the potential links between criminal networks active in Haryana and gangs based abroad. In this case, the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch and Special Cell took action and arrested four shooters allegedly linked to Pandit. They used Signal app to keep in touch with Pandit and carried foreign-made weapons. Then, in Sonipat, the Delhi Police’s Crime Branch and the Haryana STF conducted an operation during which a Lawrence Bishnoi gang shooter called Rohit Dahiya was injured. In June this year, the US district court for the Central District of California issued an arrest warrant against him. He faces charges of a conspiracy to sell drugs to other countries. After this, he was arrested by officers of the California Highway Patrol in the US state.
Some 15 days later after the Delhi shooting, another shooting was reported from a jewellery store in Pune, where his name surfaced again.
The Maharashtra Police arrested the shooters, who turned out to have links with Pandit and another criminal called Shubham Lonkar, said to be an aide of Lawrence Bishnoi.
