From Sidhu Moosewala To Bollywood Stars: The Expanding Lawrence Bishnoi Hitlist

What began as a regional gang rivalry has now grown into a transnational crime network with high-profile targets across continents. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang first grabbed national attention with the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. Since then, the arc of intimidation has widened dramatically – attacks on singer Gippy Grewal’s home in Canada, firing outside Salman Khan’s residence in Mumbai, threats to AP Dhillon, the murder of politician Baba Siddiqui, and recent incidents targeting Bollywood figures and properties abroad. The pattern is unmistakable – public threats, cross-border operations, and a chilling ability to target celebrities and politicians alike. The bigger question remains: how does a gang leader lodged in an Indian prison continue to command such reach and influence? Beyond celebrity security, this is now a deeper story of organised crime, global handlers and the growing challenge for law enforcement.
