A viral video call between notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and an alleged.
Pakistani criminal has raised alarm about ongoing criminal activities being orchestrated from within the confines of Sabarmati Jail, especially following the recent murder of Baba Siddique in Mumbai.
The 19-second video, first circulating in June, shows Bishnoi in conversation with Shehzad Bhatti, a suspected Pakistani gangster. Bishnoi, currently serving time in Ahmedabad’s Sabarmati Jail, is said to be on a “silent fast,” a personal ritual he follows whenever his gang carries out major operations.
His silence was broken in the aftermath of the high-profile murder of National Congress Party leader Baba Siddique, a crime the Bishnoi gang swiftly claimed responsibility for.
In the wake of the murder, disturbing new details emerged suggesting that Bishnoi, despite being incarcerated, has had continuous access to communication.
The viral video call between Bishnoi and Bhatti has sparked accusations that prison authorities are enabling Bishnoi’s criminal operations.
The gang, emboldened by their apparent control over jail communications, has also posted threats targeting anyone associated with Bollywood actor Salman Khan, a long-time target of the Bishnoi gang due to the 1998 killing of two blackbucks — an animal the Bishnoi community holds sacred.
Bishnoi’s criminal activities have extended beyond just one case. Kanal Chhabra, a wanted gangster, revealed last month that Bishnoi had made extortion calls to him from jail, further cementing suspicions of a functioning crime network operating within the prison system.
In a post directed at Salman Khan, the Bishnoi gang declared, “We didn’t want this war, but you became the cause of our brother’s death.
We have no enmity with anyone, but anyone who helps Salman Khan or the Dawood gang will pay the price.
” The gang has been targeting the Bollywood star since the 1998 blackbuck poaching incident and has even escalated threats with a shooting outside Salman’s home in April.
As new revelations surface about the access Bishnoi and his associates have inside prison, the case raises significant questions about the integrity of India’s prison system and its ability to contain dangerous criminal networks.
