How Lawrence Bishnoi built a global crime network

From campus politics in Punjab to an alleged global criminal empire spanning India, Canada, the United States and beyond, this episode of Post Mortem traces the rise of Lawrence Bishnoi and other Punjab-origin crime syndicates. We examine newly unsealed U.S. federal indictments, the international crackdown under Operation Hardball, and the alleged links between organized crime, narcotics trafficking, extortion, contract killings and high-profile cases involving Sidhu Moosewala, Salman Khan and Hardeep Singh Nijjar. With investigations still underway and the allegations yet to be proven in court, this episode explores how local gangs evolved into transnational crime networks and what the latest developments could mean for law enforcement across the world.
