Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal alleged Friday that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi is treated as a son-in-law of the Bharatiya Janata Party and enjoys official protection from the central government.
Kejriwal cited Bishnoi’s continued ability to operate criminal networks from custody, including incidents linked to Sabarmati jail security lapses.
He demanded an independent probe into alleged political patronage shielding the gang from prosecution across states.
BJP leaders rejected the accusation as desperate rhetoric aimed at diverting attention from AAP governance controversies in Punjab and Delhi.
Law enforcement agencies have not publicly responded to the specific protection claim, though multiple agencies continue separate investigations into Bishnoi’s organization.
