Led by Lawrence Bishnoi, who has been imprisoned in India since 2014, the gang has been linked to drug trafficking, extortion, and targeted killings. Despite Bishnoi’s incarceration, investigators allege he continues to direct operations from behind bars.

The listing follows mounting pressure from provincial leaders and opposition parties, who argued that the gang’s activities posed a direct threat to public safety in Canada. With this move, the Bishnoi Gang joins 88 other organizations currently listed as terrorist entities in Canada.
