New Delhi [India], May 23 (ANI): The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has arrested a key aide of the dreaded Lawrence Bishnoi gang who was helping members of the syndicate with fake passports to evade arrest by fleeing the country, the agency said on Friday. Rahul Sarkar, who was running the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's passport module, has been remanded to NIA custody by the agency's Special Court at Patiala House, New Delhi, for further examination. NIA said it has found that the accused had been helping the gang members by arranging forged passports, facilitating them to flee the country after committing crimes. 'Among the gang members he had helped in this manner was Sachin Thapan alias Sachin Thapan Bishnoi, the key accused in the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022.' Rahul's arrest came as part of NIA's investigation in a case registered in August 2022 on the directions of the Ministry of Home Affairs.

The case relates to the conspiracy by criminal gangs and syndicates to raise funds and recruit youth to carry out criminal activities. (ANI)
