The Supreme Court on Thursday sought to know the details of the number of FIRs filed against gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. A bench of justices Ajay Rastogi and BV Nagarathna asked Punjab Police to prepare a chart containing the number of FIRs lodged against Bishnoi. The court has listed the matter for a further hearing on 13 September.
The court also sought to know in which FIRs he has been in custody since June 13 and the future plan of police relating to Bishnoi.
During the hearing, the court remarked that “he (Bishnoi) is supposed to face the consequences if he has done anything wrong, but not in such a way.” The court was hearing Lawrence Bishnoi’s father’s plea challenging the transit remand to Punjab police.
Earlier, the Supreme Court had refused to entertain Punjab BJP leader Jagjit Singh’s plea seeking to transfer the investigation in Sidhu Moosewala’s murder case to the CBI.
In June, the Patiala House Court of Delhi allowed Punjab Police to arrest gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in connection with the Singer Sidhu Moosewala murder case. It had also granted Punjab Police’s transit application and directed Punjab Police to ensure that accused Lawrence Bishnoi’s medical examination is conducted in accordance with the law before leaving Delhi and before his production before the concerned Court of CJM, Mansa, Punjab.
According to the petition filed by Punjab Police, in the city court, Lawrence Bishnoi is a key conspirator in the singer Sidhu Moosewala’s murder case.
