Tamil Nadu Man Arrested in Kerala for Alleged Links to Lawrence Bishnoi Gang

Thrissur, November 13 (Daily Kiran) : A 27-year-old man from Tamil Nadu has been arrested in Thrissur, Kerala, based on intelligence reports suggesting his involvement with the infamous Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The suspect, identified as Gurumurthy, was apprehended by a special police team in Ottapalam, Palakkad district.

Authorities discovered that Gurumurthy had been in regular contact with gang members through the encrypted messaging platform Telegram. Investigators are particularly focused on his communications with gang associates based in Haryana. They are also exploring any potential links he may have to a recent shooting incident targeting Bollywood actor Tiger Shroff.

The police are delving into whether Gurumurthy played a role in the gang’s alleged conspiracy to threaten film industry figures and other prominent individuals. Following the intelligence-led operation, the Thrissur City East Police registered a case against him.

Gurumurthy was subsequently presented in court, where he was remanded to judicial custody. Originally from Tamil Nadu, he had been residing in Navi Mumbai before moving to Kerala. For the past four months, he had been working in the Ottapalam area, having previously held various jobs in the region.

Lawrence Bishnoi, a notorious gangster from Punjab, is currently incarcerated in Gujarat’s Sabarmati Jail but is believed to be orchestrating his interstate criminal network from behind bars. The gang gained significant attention following the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, and it has been linked to threats against Bollywood celebrities and other high-profile individuals.

This arrest raises questions about the presence of the gang’s network in Kerala. Police are now investigating the extent of Gurumurthy’s connections, the purpose of his stay in the state, and whether he was directly involved in any criminal activities. Investigations are ongoing with assistance from central agencies.
