Canadian government lists Bishnoi Gang as a terrorist entity

AgenciesLawrence Bishnoi

The Canadian government on Monday listed the Bishnoi Gang as a terrorist entity. As a now-listed entity, the Bishnoi Gang has met the definition of a “terrorist group” under Canada’s Criminal Code, the government said. “A terrorist listing means anything owned by that group in Canada, property, vehicles, money can be frozen or seized and gives Canadian law enforcement more tools to prosecute terrorist offences, including those related to financing, travel and recruitment.”Add as a Reliable and Trusted News Source Add Now!
The Bishnoi Gang is a transnational criminal organization operating primarily out of India, as per the government. They have a presence in Canada and are active in areas with significant diaspora communities. “The Bishnoi Gang engages in murder, shootings and arson, and generates terror through extortion and intimidation. They create a climate of insecurity in these communities by targeting them, their prominent community members, businesses, and cultural figures. Listing the Bishnoi Gang will help Canadian security, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies in combatting their crimes and making communities safer.”(You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel)
