Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, said to be involved in the murder of singer Sidhu Moose Wala, will move Punjab and Haryana High Court with plea to not give his custory to Punjab Police fearing a fake encounter, news agency ANI reported.

Here are five facts about the gangster

  1. Bishnoi is lodged in Tihar jail on multiple charges. His security has now been increased. The gangster had earlier filed the petition in Delhi High Court but withdrew it today, ANI reported.

  2. Bishnoi was questioned by Delhi Police's Special Cell on Tuesday in jail in connection with Moose Wala's murder case. He was taken into custody by Delhi Police's Special Cell on Tuesday in a difference case. "It has nothing to do with the Moosewala killing case," his lawyer Vishal Chopra told news agency PTI.

  3. Moose Wala's murder is being linked to the turf war between the gangs of Bishnoi and Davinder Bambiha. Bambiha was shot dead in an encounter in 2016 and his gang is now run by Lucky Patiyal, who is jailed in Armenia. 

  4. Canada-based Goldy Brar has claimed responsibility for Moose Wala's murder. Brar is a close aide of Bishnoi.

  5. An unverified account by the name of "Lawrence Bishnoi Grp" posted that Moose Wala's murder was revenge for the killing of Vicky Middukhera, a Youth Akali Dal leader who used to work for the Bishnoi group. Punjab Police also said the Bishnoi gang is involved. However, his lawyer has said his name in being unnecessarily dragged into the matter.
