Delhi’s Patiala House Court on Monday in the cross-border smuggling case, granted transit custody of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi to the Gujarat Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS). The agency feels there is a likelihood Bishnoi’s accomplices are engaged in cross-border smuggling of weapons and thus wants to grill him on his potential Pakistan links.

Earlier, Lawrence Bishnoi has been investigated by the National Investigative Agency (NIA) for his probable links with anti-India forces in Pakistan. 

On March 24, in another case, Gangster Lawrence Bisnoi filed a chargesheet against Gangster Bishnoi and Goldy Brar in one of the three terror-criminal nexus cases, in which they have been alleged of having links with the banned pro-Khalistan outfit Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and other similar terrorist groups. The names of 12 others have also been included in the charge sheet.
