Canadian Police Report Links Lawrence Bishnoi Gang to Indian Government Activities

A confidential Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) report alleges that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, designated a terrorist organization in Canada, has been "acting on behalf of the Indian government." The report highlights the gang's involvement in extortion, drug trafficking, money laundering, and contract killings, driven by greed rather than political motives. These allegations emerge amid improving India-Canada diplomatic relations following a period of tension over espionage and violence accusations, which India has denied. The gang recently claimed responsibility for a shooting targeting an Indian-origin businessman in Canada.
