Karni Sena offers Rs 1.11 crore reward to kill Lawrence Bishnoi, says the gangster must be stopped

The Kshatriya Karni Sena has announced a reward of ₹1,11,11,111 for the police officer who conducts an encounter of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. This announcement comes after Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility for the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai. Raj Shekhawat, the national president of Kshatriya Karni Sena, made this declaration in a video statement, highlighting his concerns about the rising influence of gangsters like Bishnoi, a NBT report stated.

Karni Sena Reward Declaration

In a one-minute video, Raj Shekhawat promised a reward of over one crore rupees to the policeman who carries out the encounter of Lawrence Bishnoi. He stated that the Kshatriya Karni Sena would take full responsibility for the safety and security of the police officer and their family. “The killer of our precious gem and heritage Amar Shaheed Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi ji must be stopped,” Shekhawat said, referring to the late chief of Karni Sena, who was allegedly murdered by Bishnoi’s gang.

Connection to Baba Siddiqui’s Murder

Lawrence Bishnoi has been in Sabarmati jail, Gujarat, for an extended period, facing various charges. He is linked to several high-profile crimes, including the murder of Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai. Siddiqui was killed in Bandra on Dussehra, and a Facebook post by Bishnoi’s gang claimed responsibility for the attack the next day. The Mumbai Crime Branch has arrested 10 individuals in connection with the murder, including two shooters.

Increased Security for Salman Khan

The murder of Siddiqui has led to heightened security for Bollywood actor Salman Khan, who has previously received death threats from Lawrence Bishnoi’s gang. Recently, threats directed at Khan were reported on a Mumbai Police WhatsApp group.

Criminal Activities of Bishnoi's Gang

Bishnoi's criminal organization is active across India. The gang has been linked to multiple violent incidents, including the murder of Baba Siddique, which they attributed to his alleged connections with notorious don Dawood Ibrahim and his close ties to Salman Khan.

Salman Khan and his family have received several death threats from Bishnoi over the years, especially after Siddique's murder. Security measures for the actor have been heightened due to these threats.

In September 2023, Bishnoi's gang also took responsibility for the killing of Khalistani sympathizer Sukha Duneke. Additionally, gang members were involved in shootings outside the homes of AP Dhillon and Gippy Garewal in Canada.
