New Delhi: Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has been sent to a police remand till July 6 in connection with the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's murder, said Palwinder Singh, Amritsar ACP, reported news agency ANI. Bishnoi was earlier produced in a court in Punjab’s Amritsar on Tuesday after being brought to State Special Operation Cell (SSOC) in the city late in Monday night, the news agency had reported. 

The move comes after the administration of the Tihar jail in New Delhi, where Bishnoi was lodged, decided to change prison cells of notorious gangsters more frequently in “routine transfers”. 

The decision was taken after jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi allegedly hatched a conspiracy to kill Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala from inside the Tihar jail. According to reports, Lawrence Bishnoi is a key conspirator of singer Sidhu Moose Wala's murder.

As per the report, Bishnoi was in constant touch with his close associate, Canada-based Goldy Brar from inside the jail. 

Brar, who has claimed responsibility for the death of the singer, is a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The Delhi Police Special Cell suspecting the involvement of the gang is questioning gangster Bishnoi and his aides Kala Jathedi and Kala Rana in connection with Moose Wala's murder. Bishnoi is currently lodged in a jail in Rajasthan. 

Fearing gang wars as gangsters from many states including Delhi are lodged in Tihar jail, the authorities decided to frequently change the prison cell. 

Punjabi singer and member of the Congress party, Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead by unidentified assailants on May 29 in Jawaharke village of Punjab’s Mansa district. It was learned that gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was running an extortion racket from singers in Punjab.
