Why Does Kshatriya Karni Sena Want Lawrence Bishnoi Dead?

The recent bounty announcement by the Kshatriya Karni Sena president Raj Shekhawat for any policeman who ‘encounters’ Lawrence Bishnoi, currently in Sabarmati Jail, raises the question of why the group is targeting the notorious gangster.

On December 5, 2023, shooters from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang arrived in Jaipur’s Shyamnagar and shot dead Karni Sena chief Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, firing a total of 17 rounds.

In 2020, Rohit Godara of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had threatened to kill Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, calling him from multiple international numbers. In March 2023, Gogamedi requested police protection, but it was not provided.
