'Should Bishnoi be killed in encounter?'

Shekhawat made the announcement in Vadodara, Gujarat, where he was visiting to attend the Kshatriya Ekta Mahasammelan in Ahmedabad.

Noting that the Bishnoi gang has created an atmosphere of fear in the country by harassing businessmen and killing social and political leaders even while Lawrence Bishnoi is behind bars, Shekhawat said he wants to ask people whether the gangster should be encountered or not.

Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, the chief of Karni Sena, was shot dead by assailants belonging to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang on 5 December 2023 in Jaipur.

Rohit Godara, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claimed responsibility for the murder of Gogamedi, who, according to him, was supporting their enemies and was working to strengthen them.

Running a gang from behind bars

The 31-year-old Bishnoi, who has been convicted in four criminal cases in Punjab, including charges of extortion, murder, attempted murder, and offences under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), and has been in jail since 2015, has been running his empire from behind bars.

He is said to have directly ordered the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022 and the assassination of NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai last month.

The killing of Siddique has once again raised questions about how Bishnoi has been able to have a free run, committing murders and ordering extortion from jail.
