From Student to Gangster: The Shocking Rise of Lawrence Bishnoi

Lawrence Bishnoi’s life story reads like a crime novel. Born in 1993 into a wealthy family in Punjab, India, the former student is now one of the country’s most feared criminals.

A promising start

Young Lawrence did well in school like any other child. After graduating from high school in 2010, he moved to the big city of Chandigarh to study. Nobody knew that this step would change everything.

College Days: The Beginning of the Problem

At DAV College Chandigarh, Lawrence met Goldy Brar, who would become his accomplice. They formed a student group and got into some minor trouble. In 2011, Lawrence ran for student body president but lost. Enraged by the defeat, he and his friends attacked the victor. This landed him in prison for the first time.

From bad to worse

After his release from prison, Lawrence immersed himself deeply in the criminal world. He has been linked to robberies and threats and even escaped from police custody in 2015! He reportedly fled to Nepal and ended up with dangerous weapons.

The threat of Salman Khan

In 2018, Lawrence made headlines when he threatened to kill famous Bollywood actor Salman Khan. Why? It all goes back to 1998, when Salman was accused of hunting a species of deer that Lawrence’s community considers sacred. That threat brought Lawrence into the national spotlight.

The tragic murder of Sidhu Moose Wala

In May 2022, popular singer Sidhu Moose Wala was killed. Lawrence’s gang claimed they did it to get revenge for the death of a friend. This shocking murder showed how dangerous Lawrence’s group had become.

Lawrence today

Now Lawrence Bishnoi is being held on serious terrorism charges in Delhi’s Tihar Jail, where he is being held on multiple charges including murder and extortion. He was earlier transferred from a prison in Gujarat due to security reasons. Bishnoi remains influential in organized crime. He reportedly organizes activities behind bars and maintains links with his gang, which includes over 700 shooters across India. However, Baba Siddique’s recent murder shows that his gang remains active and dangerous even with Lawrence behind bars.
