Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi: Sabarmati Jail to Canada Killing – Links to Tihar and ISI Agent

Notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, currently incarcerated in the high-security confines of Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad, has been implicated in a shocking turn of events. While behind bars at Sabarmati Jail, Bishnoi is alleged to have orchestrated the murder of Punjabi gangster Sukha Dunnake in Winnipeg, Canada.

What is particularly astounding is the swift claim of responsibility for this heinous act made by Lawrence Bishnoi himself within a mere two hours of the murder, on his official Facebook page. This development strongly suggests a coordinated effort from within the prison walls.

The investigation into this incident has revealed that Lawrence Bishnoi was able to communicate with individuals outside of Sabarmati Jail, indicating the existence of a network that facilitated this brazen act of violence. Reportedly, Bishnoi made a phone call, purportedly to a person named Ghumedi, ultimately leading to the execution of Sukha Dunnake in Canada.

The recent events surrounding Lawrence Bishnoi’s actions raise critical questions regarding the prison system’s security and the possible existence of unauthorized facilities, such as mobile phones, within Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s acceptance of responsibility for the murder in Canada, juxtaposed with his request to the Ahmedabad Sessions Court not to be referred to as a ‘gangster’ or a ‘terrorist,’ presents a perplexing situation. It prompts inquiries into how Bishnoi could have orchestrated such a scandal while confined within the high-security confines of Sabarmati Jail.

This incident brings to light concerns that have been previously raised regarding security lapses within Sabarmati Jail. Notably, it is not the first time that a criminal incarcerated in this facility has been alleged to have engaged in illicit communications. The case of gangster Atiq Ahmed, who was reported to have conversed with an ISI agent from within Sabarmati Jail via a mobile phone, highlights a recurrent issue.

Today in Canada, a distressing incident unfolded as Sukha Dunnake, a gangster with affiliations to the Bambiha gang, was fatally shot in broad daylight. Sukha Dunnake, originally linked to the Bambiha gang, expanded his criminal network upon relocating to Canada. During his time in India, he formed associations with individuals, including terrorist Arsh Dalla, and became involved in activities such as arms smuggling and extortion.

Sukha Dunnake’s criminal activities led to the registration of numerous cases against him, with the tally reaching 18, including four murder cases, after he fled to Canada. It is important to note that Dunnake Davinder, an associate of the Bambiha gang, primarily operated in the Malwa district of India.

The tragic incident occurred on September 21st, when Sukha Dunnake, now residing in Canada, was shot and killed in a public setting. What is particularly noteworthy is that within just two hours of the murder taking place, Lawrence Bishnoi claimed responsibility for the act.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s connection to Gujarat revolves around his alleged involvement in a criminal conspiracy to smuggle heroin from Pakistan and transport it to South Africa. According to investigating agencies, Lawrence Bishnoi orchestrated a plan where he arranged for a consignment of heroin to be sent from Karachi, Pakistan, to Mitha Port in Kutch, Gujarat, India. This operation was reportedly carried out under the direction of Lawrence, with individuals named Abdullah and Jameel in Karachi responsible for sending the heroin shipment.

Upon receiving a tip-off, the Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS), in collaboration with the Coast Guard, successfully intercepted the operation, resulting in the seizure of 39 kilograms of heroin. Additionally, six Pakistani individuals, namely Mohammad Safi, Imran Abdul, Mohsin Shehzad, Jauhar Ahmed, Kamran Musa, and Mohammad Sohail, were apprehended in connection with the smuggling operation.

Lawrence Bishnoi had entrusted the task of transporting the heroin to Africa to Sartaj Salim Malik and Mohammad Safi, both of whom were subsequently apprehended. In addition to them, a Nigerian citizen and Miraj Rahmani were also arrested in connection with the case.

It is alleged that Lawrence Bishnoi was involved in a significant drug scandal valued at approximately 200 crore Indian Rupees. This was not the first time he was linked to drug-related activities. Previously, Lawrence Bishnoi was identified as a key figure in a drug smuggling operation where drugs worth Rs 200 crore were seized off the coast of Kutch. At the time when this scandal came to light, Lawrence was incarcerated in Tihar Jail. He was subsequently taken into custody by the Gujarat ATS and brought to Gujarat for further legal proceedings. The court ordered his detention in connection with the case, and the matter is currently pending in the Nalia court.

Lawrence Bishnoi’s incarceration in Sabarmati Jail, Ahmedabad, as opposed to Palara Jail in West Kutch, can be attributed to a combination of legal and security considerations.

While the Nalia court may have ordered his detention, the choice of the specific prison facility is influenced by various factors, including the severity of the charges against the individual, their notoriety, and security concerns.

Lawrence Bishnoi is a notorious gangster with a history of high-profile criminal activities. Given the gravity of the charges against him and his reputation, it is essential to ensure his safety and the security of the facility where he is detained. Palara Jail may not have the same level of high-security infrastructure and personnel to adequately address the potential security risks associated with his detention.

Lawrence’s alleged communication with a sharpshooter while he was in Tihar Jail is a matter of significant concern and underscores the challenges posed by criminal networks operating from within prisons. In this particular instance, the sharpshooter reportedly made a call to Lawrence from Tihar Jail following the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.

An audio recording of the conversation between the shooter and Lawrence surfaced, where the shooter is heard stating, “Gnani Chadhata Gaddi, Moosewala Marta,” indicating the success of the mission. This revelation prompted the Punjab Police to take Lawrence’s voice sample in Mohali to compare it with the voice recording in question.

The fact that Lawrence was allegedly in contact with individuals involved in criminal activities while in Tihar Jail raises serious security concerns within the prison system. It highlights the need for enhanced surveillance and security measures to prevent inmates from continuing their criminal activities or coordinating violent actions from behind bars.

The revelation that Uttar Pradesh gangster Atiq Ahmed was involved in importing arms from Pakistan and had made phone calls to an ISI agent from Sabarmati Jail in Ahmedabad is deeply concerning. This underscores the significant security challenges faced by prison authorities in preventing illicit communications and criminal activities conducted by inmates from behind bars.

Atiq Ahmed’s confession regarding his role in the Umesh Pal murder case and the details of his arms smuggling operation shed light on the extent of organized criminal activities he was allegedly involved in. His statement to the police, indicating the use of drones to smuggle arms from Pakistan to the Indian border and the involvement of others in delivering weapons and funds, raises questions about the sophistication of these criminal networks.

Tragically, Atiq Ahmed and his brother Ashraf were shot in the head on April 15, 2023, in Uttar Pradesh. While the circumstances surrounding their deaths are a matter for law enforcement to investigate, it is clear that the criminal activities they were involved in had significant implications for public safety and security.

The significant number of incidents involving the discovery of mobile phones and SIM cards within Sabarmati Jail over the past six to seven years underscores a pressing issue concerning prison security. The frequency of these occurrences raises questions about the effectiveness of measures in place to prevent unauthorized items from entering the correctional facility.

Here is a breakdown of the incidents by year:

• In 2014, 18 crimes were registered, and 49 accused were apprehended with 23 mobile phones and 8 SIM cards.
• In 2015, 25 crimes were reported, leading to the arrest of 62 accused with 35 mobile phones and 11 SIM cards.
• In 2016, 24 crimes resulted in the detention of 53 accused and the seizure of 30 mobile phones and 5 SIM cards.
• In 2017, 37 crimes were documented, with 10 accused apprehended and the discovery of 43 mobile phones and 21 SIM cards.
• In 2018, 34 crimes led to the arrest of 65 accused, during which 50 mobile phones and 42 SIM cards were confiscated.
• In 2019, 22 crimes resulted in the detention of 33 accused, with the seizure of 27 mobile phones and 12 SIM cards.
• In 2020, 24 crimes were registered, leading to the arrest of 24 accused and the discovery of 30 mobile phones and 5 SIM cards.

These repeated incidents highlight the challenges faced by prison authorities in maintaining security within correctional facilities. Preventing the entry of unauthorized items, such as mobile phones, is crucial to ensuring the safety of both inmates and the public, as these devices can be used for illegal activities, coordination of criminal acts, or unauthorized communication with the outside world.
