The brutal murder of 19-year-old teacher Manisha in Haryana’s Bhiwani has triggered widespread anger and protests. According to reports, Manisha went missing on August 11 (Monday) after visiting a nursing college for admission inquiries following her school hours. Two days later, on August 13 (Wednesday), her body was found abandoned in a field in Bhiwani, leading to public unrest and demands for swift justice.
In response, the Haryana government has announced that the case will be handed over to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to ensure a thorough probe.
Bishnoi gang enters the picture
In a dramatic turn, the Lawrence Bishnoi gang has now entered the case, releasing a threatening post online. The post, attributed to Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Dhillon, warned that if the Haryana Police fails to deliver justice, their gang will ensure the murderer is killed.
Both the Lawrence Bishnoi and Rohit Godara gangs appear to be using the high-profile Manisha case to demonstrate their dominance and influence in Haryana.
Claim of overseas killing in Canada
The situation intensified further when Goldy Dhillon, a Bishnoi associate currently based in Canada, also claimed responsibility in the same post for the killing of Sonu Chhatha in Brampton, Canada.
According to Dhillon, Chhatha was eliminated because he was allegedly involved in the conspiracy to murder MP Dhanua, a close aide of Bishnoi, and was also using Lawrence’s name to extort money.
Growing concerns over law and order
This latest development has not only escalated tensions in Haryana but also raised alarms over the growing reach of organised gangs. With Lawrence Bishnoi currently lodged in jail and Goldy Dhillon operating from abroad, authorities fear the situation could fuel further gang rivalries and law-and-order challenges.
