A Canadian portal has stirred controversy by making unverified claims about the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate. Citing what it calls a "confidential RCMP report," the portal alleges the syndicate worked on behalf of the Indian government. This charge mirrors accusations the earlier Trudeau administration repeatedly leveled without providing any solid evidence.
Questionable Sources and Timing Raise Eyebrows
The article refers to an undated internal report by Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police. It quotes only two groups representing Canadian Sikhs while referencing Prime Minister Mark Carney's planned India visit later this year. Its publication coincided with the high-level trade mission of British Columbia Premier David Eby, who arrived in India on January 12.
Bishnoi's Criminal Network and Canada's Gang Landscape
Lawrence Bishnoi remains behind bars in India. However, his affiliates have been linked to various crimes in India, the United States, and Canada. In Canada, multiple local gangs operate across provinces like British Columbia, Ontario, and Alberta.
Canada's Troubled Record Under Trudeau
Under the Trudeau administration, Canada courted Khalistani groups. During this period, violent crime surged significantly. Data from 2025 reports a 43% rise in murders and a staggering 108% jump in gang-related homicides since 2015.
India-Canada ties nosedived after the 2023 killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Trudeau alleged Indian involvement but later conceded his claims were based on "intelligence" rather than "concrete evidence." This latest article appears to follow a similar pattern of unsubstantiated allegations.
