Canada Lists Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Terror Group Amid Reset In India Ties | Read

Mob boss Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang - linked to murder, extortion, and arms and drugs trafficking in India and abroad - has been declared a 'terrorist entity' by Canada under its Criminal Code, Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said Monday evening.

This means any Bishnoi gang asset in that country, from cash to vehicles and property, can be frozen or seized, giving Canadian law enforcement more (and sharper) teeth to prosecute gang members for various offences, including those related to financing of terrorist activities.

It also means immigration officials can deny suspected gang members entry into Canada.
