- Delhi Police arrested three Lawrence Bishnoi gang shooters.
- Foiled a target killing plot in Rohini, Delhi.
- Accused received overseas instructions, wanted in criminal cases.
In a major operation, the Rohini District Special Staff of Outer Delhi Police has arrested three alleged shooters linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Two of the accused are from Uttar Pradesh's Azamgarh, while the third is a resident of Delhi.
According to the police, the three arrested shooters were preparing to carry out a major crime in Delhi and were plotting a target killing. However, Rohini District Police received information about their movements and apprehended them.
Police said they had received intelligence regarding the activities of the shooters, following which the Special Staff began tracking them. The accused were eventually arrested based on surveillance and technical analysis.
Investigators claim that the shooters were receiving instructions through an overseas-based network, which was allegedly directing them to carry out criminal activities.
The arrested men are wanted in connection with several criminal cases in Delhi. Police said they have allegedly been involved in multiple offences in the past, including murder and firing incidents, among other serious crimes.
The development comes amid growing international scrutiny of the Lawrence Bishnoi network. US prosecutors recently charged Lawrence Bishnoi and his aide Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar for ordering the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in November 2023.
In a coordinated action named ''Operation Hardball,'' the law enforcement agencies of the US, Canada and Europe arrested 24 persons, 11 of them in California, connected to three India-based transnational organised crime groups charged with a litany of criminal acts, including Nijjar's assassination.
