Lawrence Bishnoi and his criminal network, implicated in murder, extortion, and arms and drug trafficking both in India and internationally, have been officially designated as a terrorist entity by the Canadian government, Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree announced on September 29, after calls from Conservative and NDP politicians

“Specific communities have been targeted for terror, violence and intimidation by the Bishnoi Gang. Listing this group of criminal terrorists gives us more powerful and effective tools to confront and put a stop to their crimes,” Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree said in a statement.

This designation allows Canadian authorities to freeze or seize any assets linked to the Bishnoi gang within Canada, including money, vehicles and property.
