Lawrence Bishnoi’s cousin revealed
Lawrence Bishnoi’s cousin has revealed that his family spends around ₹35 to ₹40 lakh per year to take care of the gangster as he is in jail. Lawrence Bishnoi’s 50-year-old cousin Ramesh Bishnoi also said that the family never thought that my brother Lawrence, 31, a law graduate from Punjab University, would one day become a criminal. The Daily Guardian quoted Ramesh as saying, “We have always been rich. Lawrence’s father was a constable in Haryana Police and our family owns 110 acres (land) in the village. Lawrence always wore expensive clothes and shoes. In fact, even now, the family spends ₹35 to 40 lakh annually on him in jail.”
Lawrence Bishnoi is in the news after the murder of Baba Siddiqui.
Born in Firozpur, Punjab, Bishnoi, whose real name is Balkaran Brar, changed his name to ‘Lawrence’ during his school years, reportedly on the suggestion of his aunt, after his childhood nickname ‘Lawrence’. He felt that the latter name was ‘better’. In recent years, his name has cropped up in several high-profile cases, including the murder of Maharashtra politician Baba Siddiqui in Mumbai last week. Lawrence’s gang has claimed responsibility for Siddiqui’s murder through a social media post.
Police is investigating Siddiqui’s murder
Earlier in May 2022, popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead allegedly by Bishnoi gang members. Lawrence Bishnoi is currently lodged in Sabarmati jail in Gujarat. It is said that his gang members commit these crimes. The investigation into the murder of NCP Ajit faction leader Siddiqui is ongoing and the involvement of Lawrence Bishnoi gang is being ascertained.
