Global Gang Warfare: The Deadly Feud Between Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar Criminal Networks

The gang members, who once collaborated closely, have now turned into fierce adversaries.

New Delhi:

The conflict between Lawrence Bishnoi's gang and Goldy Brar's gang has been intensifying and expanding globally, with both factions issuing threats against each other - particularly following the arrest and deportation of Anmol Bishnoi, the younger sibling of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.

These gang members, previously allies, have now become bitter enemies.

When Anmol was apprehended in the United States in 2024, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang alleged that Goldy Brar failed to provide assistance with ammunition and claimed he was "collaborating with Khalistani terrorists." This accusation prompted Brar to split from the Bishnoi organization and establish his own gang, attracting some former Bishnoi members. Rohit Godara, a notorious gangster from Rajasthan's Bikaner who previously operated within the Bishnoi gang, joined forces with Goldy Brar.

Meanwhile, other gangsters including Goldy Dhillon, Hari Boxer, Randeep Malik, and Arju Bishnoi maintained their loyalty to Lawrence Bishnoi.

In September this year, Godara accused Bishnoi of treachery, alleging cooperation with an American agency and disclosure of sensitive information. Through an unverified social media post, Godara claimed a connection between Bishnoi and an American intelligence agency, stating that Bishnoi had formed an alliance with them to protect his brother Anmol and now provides them with intelligence about the country. Godara further alleged that Bishnoi intends to target Bollywood actor Salman Khan to gain notoriety.

The first gang war

On October 18, a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, Hari Boxer, was attacked in the United States, with gangster Rohit Godara taking responsibility for the shooting. Godara, in an apparent Facebook post, stated that he and Goldy Brar orchestrated the shooting in California, during which one of Boxer's companions was killed instantly, and another was "shot and hospitalized."

Boxer, however, managed to escape the attack.

"I (Rohit_Godara) (Goldy_Brar) brothers-we are the ones who orchestrated the shooting of (Hari Boxer) alias (Hariya) today in California, USA (near Exit 127 on Highway 41, Fresno, USA). One of his associates died on the spot! Another was shot and is hospitalized! And this (Hari Boxer) coward hid under the car seat!", the post declared.

The gangster warned Boxer that he would "not spare" him.

Days afterward, Boxer and Arzoo Bishnoi - a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi - labeled Godara a "traitor" on social media.

The second gang war

In November, the gang conflict spread to Dubai, with Godara claiming to have eliminated an associate of rival gangster Lawrence Bishnoi - Jora Sidhu, also known as Sippa. According to the post, Sidhu was allegedly killed by having his throat cut.

Godara stated the attack was carried out because Sidhu had dispatched men to Germany to assassinate his associate and was making threats from Dubai in Lawrence Bishnoi's name to individuals in Canada and the United States.

The third gang war

A man, formerly a close associate of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was fatally shot near Chandigarh's Timber Market in Sector-26 on Monday. The victim, identified as Inderpreet Singh alias Parry (35), was rushed to the Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER), where doctors pronounced him dead.

According to officials, Parry, who had multiple criminal cases against him, left a private club in an SUV on Monday evening. He was accompanied by another person, whose identity remains unknown, preliminary investigation revealed. Shortly after the vehicle traveled a short distance, the unidentified companion opened fire on Parry. Approximately five empty shells were discovered inside the SUV.

The Bishnoi gang members, Arzoo and Hari Boxer, claimed responsibility for the murder. "Inderpreet Perry was murdered in Sector 26, Chandigarh. We take responsibility for this. He was a traitor to our group! He used to collect money from all the clubs by making calls to (Goldy and Rohit). That's why we killed him," a post stated.

In response, the Goldy Brar gang released an audio clip openly threatening the Lawrence Bishnoi gang with retaliation.

Zeeshan Akhtar confesses to killing Baba Siddique

Zeeshan Akhtar, an alleged key conspirator in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique, was arrested in Canada in June. Last month, he confessed to the crime in a video.

"I killed Baba Siddique at the behest of Lawrence Bishnoi. However, after the murder of Baba Siddique, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was planning to slit my throat. It was fortunate that Shahzad Bhatti helped me, and I fled abroad. Now, I will not spare these traitors, the Lawrence gang. I am now with Rohit Godara," he stated.

Shahzad Bhatti's threat to Bishnoi gang

Pakistani gangster and terrorist Shahzad Bhatti openly threatened to kill Lawrence Bishnoi and Anmol Bishnoi.

Upon his return to India, Anmol Bishnoi submitted an application to the Patiala House Court, stating that he faced a threat to his life from Bhatti.
