In this case, the NIA has prepared a list of people associated with Neeraj Bawana, Lawrence Bishnoi, and the Tajpuria gang. The agency says that some gangsters are also operating from jails.

Gangster Vinay Deoda’s house in Kotkapura, a factory and gangster Shubham’s house in Amritsar have been raided. The house of gangster Ravi Rajgarh has been raided in Ludhiana.

All gangsters are suspected to have connection with terrorists.

The Union Home Ministry suspects that all these gangsters have links with terrorists. Weapons are being provided to them from Pakistan. Apart from this, it is also suspected that at the behest of terrorists, they can spoil the atmosphere in the country and target killing in India. The government has put these organizations on the list of terrorists.
