New Delhi, Dec 18 (UNI): Security has been significantly strengthened at Delhi’s Tihar Jail following the arrival of gangster Anmol Bishnoi, who was recently extradited from the United States. Jail authorities are on high alert, monitoring all movements closely.
Anmol Bishnoi is the younger brother of incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. His presence in Tihar has raised concerns of a potential gang war, as rival gangsters are already housed in the same facility. Key rival gangsters include Rohit Godara, the Goldy Brar gang, and others linked to the Neeraj Bawana, Bambiha, Himanshu Bhau, Kaushal Chaudhary, and Jaggu Bhagwanpuria networks.
In a previous court hearing, Anmol Bishnoi had claimed his life was under threat from Pakistan-based gangster Shahzad Bhatti. The threat landscape is complex, involving former allies turned foes.
Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, once close associates, are now engaged in a feud, with threats regularly exchanged on social media. Lawrence Bishnoi is currently held in Sabarmati Jail.
Tihar Jail has a history of gang violence. In 2023, inmates Prince Tewatia and Tillu Tajpuria were killed in separate incidents inside the prison, raising serious questions about security. CCTV footage of Tajpuria’s murder had circulated widely.
The central question now is whether Anmol Bishnoi’s incarceration will lead to renewed gang conflict within the prison walls or if the administration will be able to maintain control. The situation remains under close watch.
