The Kshatriya Karni Sena has reportedly announced a bounty of Rs 1,11,11,111 for the ‘encounter’ of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who was implicated in the recent murder of Maharashtra NCP leader Baba Siddique.
According to Navbharat Times, Kshatriya Karni Sena president Raj Shekhawat said in a video statement that any police officer who kills Lawrence Bishnoi will be given a reward of Rs 1,11,11,111.
Strongly criticizing the central and the Gujarat government, Shekhawat said that Lawrence Bishnoi is a threat to the country.
In a video uploaded on social media, the Kshatriya Karni Sena chief said, “Lawrence Bishnoi has killed our precious gem and heritage Amar Shaheed Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi.”
Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi was shot dead by unknown assailants in Jaipur on December 5, 2023. After a few hours, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang claimed responsibility for his murder.
Earlier in September 2023, the gang had also claimed responsibility for the murder of Khalistani supporter Sukha Duneke.
Lawrence Bishnoi was one of the persons named as accused in the FIR pertaining to the incident of firing outside Salman Khan’s Bandra residence in Mumbai in April. The animosity between Lawrence Bishnoi and Salman Khan first became public in 2018 when Bishnoi said during a court appearance in Jodhpur, “We will kill Salman Khan. Everyone will know once we take action. I have not done anything as of now, they are accusing me of crimes for no reason.”
Since then, the popular actor has received multiple threats to his life. The enmity stems from the infamous blackbuck poaching case involving Salman Khan which took place in 1998 during the filming of Hum Saath-Saath Hain in Rajasthan, irking the Bishnoi community which revers the animal.
Lawrence Bishnoi is currently incarcerated in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Jail, facing numerous charges, including murder, attempted murder, extortion, and drug and arms smuggling across various states.
A product of a gangster-terror network nexus, Lawrence Bishnoi has been named by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in several high-profile cases, including alleged his links with banned terror group Babbar Khalsa International, and smuggling of arms and ammunition from Pakistan.
Despite the NIA taking significant steps towards dismantling his criminal network, he continues to execute his design through a large group of henchman and sharpshooters in several states, especially in the north and west of India.
