Lawrence Bishnoi Gang Claims Responsibility for Murder of Haryana Gangster in California
The notorious Lawrence Bishnoi criminal syndicate has publicly claimed responsibility for the murder of Bhanu Rana, a gangster from Karnal, Haryana, in California, USA. This development marks a significant escalation in the gang's international activities and internal conflicts.
Victim's Criminal Background and Legal Status
Bhanu Rana was a long-time associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang but reportedly severed ties with the organization last year. He faced numerous serious criminal charges across multiple Indian states, including murder, extortion, and violations of the Arms Act in Haryana, Punjab, and Delhi.
Rana was apprehended by United States authorities in November 2025, and Indian law enforcement agencies were actively pursuing his extradition to face trial in India. His name had previously emerged during investigations into a grenade attack in Punjab, further highlighting his involvement in serious criminal activities.
Social Media Claim and Chilling Warning
The Lawrence Bishnoi group made the murder claim through a social media post written in a mixture of Hindi and Punjabi languages. The post specifically named "Sarpanch Europe" and Sahil Duhan from Hisar as the perpetrators, along with other members of the Bishnoi group.
The message labeled Rana a "traitor" and asserted that the gang had predicted his death exactly one year earlier in a previous social media post. The communication contained a particularly ominous warning, stating that Lawrence Bishnoi has ordered the elimination of anyone working against the country, regardless of their global hiding places.
Internal Gang Dynamics and Additional Revelations
The social media declaration revealed significant internal developments within the criminal organization's structure. The post explicitly disavowed Goldy Dhillon, stating he no longer has any connection to the Lawrence Bishnoi group.
The message accused Dhillon of transforming into a drug trafficker and informant, advising others to maintain distance from him. This public denouncement suggests ongoing power struggles and realignments within the gang's hierarchy.
International Reach and Network Expansion
The concluding section of the social media post listed various affiliated groups and individuals operating across international locations, including Australia and Spain. This highlights the sprawling and dangerous nature of the criminal network's global reach, indicating sophisticated international operations beyond Indian borders.
California police authorities have not yet officially confirmed the murder, and investigations are ongoing. The case underscores the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in combating transnational criminal networks with operations spanning multiple continents.
