US charges Lawrence Bishnoi for attacks on Salman Khan, Gippy Grewal, Moosewala

This is most likely a reference to noted Punjabi singer and Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala (Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, or SSS. )

“Between 2022 and 2026, Bishnoi announced, on multiple occasions, his intention to murder SK, a well-known Indian actor and television personality,” the indictment said. According to sources, this is a reference to actor Salman Khan, whose residence was under attack in April 2024, besides the security breach on his film set. The gang has been continuously threatening the actor, primarily due to the 1998 blackbuck poaching case.

“Members and associates of the Bishnoi OCG used these and similar claims to promote the enterprise and instil fear in the public, including to extort members of the public based on fear of the Bishnoi OCG,” says the DoJ.

On November 25, 2023, defendant Bishnoi claimed responsibility for a shooting that occurred on November 24, 2023, in Vancouver, Canada, at the residence of RG, a prominent Indian actor and singer, in an online post to Facebook that warned, in Punjabi, “no one can save you from us,” it says.

This is understood to be a reference to Punjabi actor/singer Rupinder Grewal, or Gippy Grewal, as shots were fired outside his house on the same date in Vancouver.
