Why it matters
This highlights the global reach of Indian organized crime syndicates and the increasing involvement of international law enforcement in domestic security issues.
The United States Department of Justice (DoJ) said that between 2022 and 2026, jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi announced his intention “to murder S.K., a well-known Indian actor and television personality” to promote his “enterprise” and instill fear in the public.
