Lawrence Bishnoi's untold story:?
Policeman's son turned gangster
Born in Feb 1993 in Failka, Punjab, Bishnoi was named Lawrence because of his fair skin tone. For the unversed, the meaning of his name in Christianity is "bright one" or the "shining one". He was brought up in a well-off family. His mother was an educated housewife, while his father was a policeman who fulfilled all his needs while growing up. As a kid, he was interested in sports, especially Kabaddi. While his parents thought he would become a sportsman, little did they know that their son would gain popularity as a notorious criminal.?
His father, for the unversed, served in the Haryana Police for five years before taking up farming as his profession.?
The incident that changed his life
Lawrence's life changed when he went to Chandigarh for further studies. He was a student of DAV College, Sector-10 in Chandigarh, where he was pursuing BA. He didn't even clear his first-year exams as he was caught cheating. It is said that he took his answer sheet and jumped out of the window.?Lawrence then pursued his degree in Law from Punjab University.?
The Incident that marked Bishnoi's descent into the world of crime
He joined the Students' Union of Panjab University (SOPU) in 2011. He unfortunately lost the election. This triggered him so much that bought a revolver and fired shots at Uday, the winning candidate. This was also the first time when a case was registered against him. This is what marked his entry into the world of crime.
From Student leader to notorious criminal??
