B.C. Premier Calls Bishnoi Gang Sus, Wants Terrorist Label 🚨

The Tea is Piping Hot ☕

So, peep this: the Premier of British Columbia, like, the actual head honcho of the province, is throwing major shade at this Lawrence Bishnoi gang. He's saying they need to be officially tagged as a terrorist organization. Why? Because allegedly, they're running a whole extortion ring targeting South Asian businesses in Canada. We're talking full-on threats and demands for cash, no cap.

The Surrey Police Service already formed an Extortion Investigations Team to handle it, but the Premier's saying it ain't enough. He thinks because this is some transnational crime stuff, they need to pull out the big guns – aka, labeling them as terrorists, which unlocks a whole new level of legal tools. He's tryna get the Canadian federal government to take action.

Now, who is this Lawrence Bishnoi dude? Apparently, he's a big-time gangster from Punjab, India, currently chilling (not really) in Sabarmati Central Jail in Ahmedabad. Allegedly, he's linked to a bunch of crimes, and the Indian government even suspects his gang of being a "terror syndicate." It's a whole international crime saga unfolding right now.

Back in December 2023, the fuzz in Abbotsford, B.C., were already investigating some extortion cases involving wealthy members of the South Asian community, and those suspects were reportedly linked to the Bishnoi gang. The RCMP says the Bishnoi gang is involved in violent crimes on Canadian soil. It's low-key causing beef between Canada and India. This is about to get spicy 🔥!
