The New York Post reports: "Murderous Indian terror gangs used California as a cash register while trafficking guns and drugs: feds." From the article:
The feared Bishnoi gang founded by Lawrence Bishnoi, who remains locked in an Indian prison, used Whatsapp to direct the movements of hundreds of pounds of drugs across California and extort victims from LA and Thousand Oaks, court documents show.
“Using contraband cellphones and other… devices smuggled into his jail cell, defendant Bishnoi personally directed political assassinations, murders, shootings, extortions, kidnappings, drug trafficking, human smuggling, and other crimes,” the documents say.
The gang is accused of stealing about 1,150 pounds of cocaine from rival drug dealing outfits in the greater LA area between March 2024 and July 2025.

One Bishnoi lieutenant, Rajan Bhatti, is accused of using terrifying threats in an attempt to extort $200,000 from an undercover federal officer posing as a wealthy expat living in LA, court papers reveal.
“We’re going to cause harm to you,” Bhatti allegedly said. “Your kids, your family, everyone. It doesn’t matter to me if I kill someone. That’s what I do.”
Members of another India-based crime outfit — the Bhagwanpuria gang, led by imprisoned Indian mastermind Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, 38 — are accused of ruthlessly exploiting their connections to extort victims, federal officials said.
Bhagwanpuria gang member Gurlal Singh, 22, of Stockton, Calif., allegedly conspired with a corrupt cop in India’s Punjab state to falsely accuse their victims of murder and extort them over the pending case.
