The National Investigation Agency has said that jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and his associates have made a new alliance with a Jharkhand-based gangster, Aman Sahu. An Indian Express source said that one of the associates of Sahu met the associates of Bishnoi in Tihar jail.
“Investigations into multiple cases have shown that Sahu and his gang members supply arms and ammunition to various organisations, including the banned CPI (Maoist). He is operating from jail through his gang members, who use arms and ammunition for extortion in various mining areas. In Tihar jail, one of the associates of Sahu met the associates of Bishnoi,” the source said.
The source added that Sahu and his gang members supply arms and ammunition to various organisations. Bishnoi has reportedly told the NIA that he has a “business model” involving alliances with jailed gangsters from various states and they exchange shooters and weapons.
“In this business model, they take contracts for toll security and share percentage. Also, if they want to eliminate their rival, they provide shooters along with weapons to each other. They also provide help for crossing the border,” the source said.
