In a significant turn of events, gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was recently brought to Delhi from a Gujarat jail and subsequently lodged in the high-security Mandoli prison. This move comes as a precautionary measure to ensure enhanced security, especially in light of the recent killing of Tillu Tajpuriya in Tihar Jail. The jail administration has taken this decision to avert any potential gang war that could arise within the prison premises.
The notorious gangster, Lawrence Bishnoi, has been allocated cell number 15 within the Mandoli jail. With heightened security arrangements in place, Bishnoi was transported from Gujarat to Delhi airport under tight vigilance, ensuring a safe transfer at approximately 12:30 a.m.
Last month, the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) obtained custody of Lawrence Bishnoi in connection with a case involving cross-border drug smuggling. The Magistrate’s Court in Nalia, Kutch granted the Gujarat ATS a 14-day custody of Bishnoi for further investigation. Prior to this, Bishnoi had been under the custody of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) as well as the Punjab Police. In a recent development on May 24, the Delhi Police Special Cell apprehended an alleged member of the notorious Lawrence Bishnoi-Jitendra Gogi syndicate after an encounter in the national capital.
The arrested individual had been evading capture after absconding while on bail in an attempted murder case in Delhi. It is noteworthy to mention that Lawrence Bishnoi is also an accused in the high-profile murder case of Punjabi singer Siddhu Moose Wala, for which he was arrested by the Punjab Police back in 2022.
The Significance of Bishnoi’s Relocation to Mandoli Jail
Lawrence Bishnoi’s transfer to the Mandoli prison holds immense significance from both a security and administrative standpoint. The recent violent incident involving the killing of Tillu Tajpuriya in Tihar Jail has raised serious concerns regarding the safety of inmates and the potential for gang-related conflicts. By segregating Bishnoi from the main prison population, the authorities aim to neutralize any possibilities of a gang war erupting within the confines of the jail.
The decision to relocate Bishnoi to Mandoli Jail underscores the commitment of the prison administration to maintain a secure and controlled environment. With enhanced security measures in place, it is expected that the risk of violent clashes and organized criminal activities will be significantly mitigated.

Furthermore, Bishnoi’s alleged association with the Lawrence Bishnoi-Jitendra Gogi syndicate has been a subject of intense scrutiny by law enforcement agencies.
