The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is facing mounting pressure after the United States intensified its crackdown on illegal immigrants, a policy revived under Donald Trump’s administration. The US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has begun arresting several members of the Bishnoi network, marking a significant breakthrough for India’s Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF).
According to official sources, two key operatives—Jagdeep Singh alias Jagga and Jack Pandit alias Amit Sharma alias Sultan—were apprehended during ICE raids in the US. Both had reportedly entered the country through illegal “donkey routes” and were coordinating gang activities from abroad. With their arrest, India now has a stronger case for extradition, as they were detained for violating US immigration laws.
The AGTF had recently shared a detailed dossier with the FBI and Interpol, identifying Bishnoi gang members residing in the US on fake passports and forged documents. The report included names, hideouts, and operational details, which helped American agencies conduct targeted operations.
Sources reveal that the Bishnoi gang had established a transport business network across multiple countries, allegedly using it as a front for money laundering and cross-border coordination. The gang’s financial and logistical web is now under investigation by US authorities.
Meanwhile, Anmol Bishnoi, Lawrence’s brother, is currently in the US and has filed an asylum plea, citing threats to his life in India. However, the AGTF has reportedly submitted his complete criminal record to American agencies, potentially undermining his asylum claim. If the evidence holds, Anmol may soon face deportation or extradition to India.
With coordinated action between Indian and US agencies and Washington’s tough stance on illegal immigrants, the international network of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang appears to be collapsing. Analysts suggest this marks a turning point in curbing organized crime syndicates that operate beyond borders.
