Lawrence Bishnoi’s family reportedly spends ₹35-40 lakh annually to take care of the gangster as he is in jail, the gangster’s 50-year-old cousin claimed. These details have emerged days after the NCP leader and former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique was murdered in a shootout by three armed men on October 12 night that took place outside son Zeeshan Siddique’s office in Mumbai’s upscale Bandra.
Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently lodged at the Sabarmati Central Jail in Gujarat’s Ahmedabad, is a law graduate from the Punjab University. Speaking about 31-year-old gang leader’s career decision, Lawrence Bishnoi ‘s cousin Ramesh Bishnoi said the family ‘never imagined’ that Lawrence Bishnoi would go on to become a criminal, The Indian Express reported.
“We have always been wealthy. Lawrence’s father was a constable in the Haryana Police and owns 110 acres (of land) in our village. Lawrence always wore expensive clothes and shoes. In fact, even now, the family spends ₹35-40 lakh annually on him in jail,” The Indian Express quoted Ramesh as saying.
