India’s underworld, once dominated by figures like Dawood Ibrahim, is witnessing a resurgence with the rise of Lawrence Bishnoi and his gang. Once a small-time outfit, Bishnoi's criminal empire now wields significant power, with the recent high-profile killing of powerful Maharashtra politician Baba Siddiqui sending shockwaves across the country. Is India witnessing the return of an era where gangsters run the business of extortion and fear?
Join host Anirban Chowdhury as he talks to ET’s Rashmi Rajput and supercop D Sivandandan to uncover how the Bishnoi gang operates and what this means for the future of organised crime in India.
