Canada, Oct 30: The notorious Lawrence Bishnoi gang continues its destructive activities in Canada. The gang has claimed responsibility for the murder of an Indian-origin Abbotsford-based industrialist and the shooting at the house of a Punjabi singer.
The two incidents come a day after Rajasthan police arrested Jagdeep Singh alias Jagga, an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang in the US.
Gang that killed industrialist
In a social media post, Bishnoi gang member Goldie Dhillon has claimed that the group was behind the murder of Indian-origin industrialist Darshan Singh Sahasi.
The gang claimed that Sahasi, 68, was involved in a large drug deal and was demanding money from him. When the money was not received, the gang murdered him. Sahasi was shot dead outside his home in Abbotsford, British Columbia, on Monday morning.
Sahasi had moved to Canada in 1991
Sahasi was the president of Kenam International, a well-known textile recycling company. He immigrated to Canada in 1991 and initially worked in small jobs. Later, Sahasi acquired a stake in the textile recycling plant and turned it into a global company.
