Karni Sena offers ₹1 crore reward for police to kill gangster Lawrence Bishnoi
New Delhi: The Kshatriya Karni Sena has announced a reward of ₹1,11,11,111 for the encounter of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. In a video statement, the organisation's national president, Raj Shekhawat, declared that the reward would be given to any police officer who kills Bishnoi, citing concerns over public safety. The announcement comes after Bishnoi's gang claimed responsibility for the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique in Mumbai.
Lawrence Bishnoi, currently imprisoned in Gujarat's Sabarmati jail on charges of cross-border drug smuggling, has been involved in multiple high-profile cases. His gang has also claimed responsibility for the murder of Khalistani sympathiser Sukha Duneke and the firing outside Bollywood actor Salman Khan's residence in April.
Raj Shekhawat criticised both the central government and the Gujarat government, holding them accountable for not tackling the growing threat posed by Bishnoi's criminal network. He also accused Bishnoi of being responsible for the murder of Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi in December 2023.
The gang's criminal activities have expanded across the country and internationally, with their involvement in shootings outside the residences of celebrities like AP Dhillon and Gippy Garewal in Canada.

UP man gets life term for electrocuting mentally challenged wife to death in Bareilly
Bareilly (UP) (PTI): A local court here has sentenced a man to life imprisonment for murdering his mentally challenged wife by repeatedly electrocuting her while she was tied to a cot, lawyers said on Thursday.
Additional district government counsel Harendra Singh Rathore said Additional Sessions Judge Avinash Kumar Singh on Wednesday convicted Vinod Kumar (45) for killing his wife, Satyavati, in Chaina village of Bareilly district and imposed a fine of Rs 15,000 on him.
According to the prosecution, he was allegedly frustrated with his wife Satyavati's mental illness and often assaulted her.
Rathore said the prosecution examined nine witnesses to establish the charges against him.
As per court records, on the night of May 1-2, 2022, when Satyavati was asleep, Vinod tied her hands and legs to a cot using ropes and then connected an aluminium cable to an electric board to repeatedly administer electric shocks to her.
"She writhed in pain, but the accused continued to electrocute her until she died," the prosecution said.
The court observed that the murder was carried out in an inhuman manner.
After committing the crime, the accused threw the rope and cable on the roof and left for work at a brick kiln around 2 am to create a false alibi.
He later tried to mislead the police and the victim's family by claiming that Satyavati, whose mental condition was unstable, had accidentally died by suicide after grabbing a live electric wire.
However, the victim's brother, Sanjeev, a resident of Shahjahanpur district, suspected foul play and lodged an FIR under sections 498A (husband subjecting wife to cruelty) and 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code at Nawabganj police station.
During the trial, the prosecution relied on the post-mortem report prepared by Dr Faraz Anwar, who stated that multiple electrocution marks found on different parts of the victim's body could not have been self-inflicted.
The police also recovered the rope and electric wire used in the crime on the accused's identification, officials said.
