During a Hanuman Jayanti procession in Koti, Hyderabad, a placard displaying the photo of Lawrence Bishnoi, a jailed gangster, drew significant attention and sparked debate on social media. Clips of participants carrying the placard circulated widely, leading to mixed reactions from the public. While some criticized the act, others expressed support. In response, the Hyderabad Police announced they would identify the individuals responsible and summon them for counseling, although they do not plan to register a criminal case at this time. A police official remarked that displaying Bishnoi's image at a religious event was inappropriate. Lawrence Bishnoi, currently imprisoned in Gujarat, is known for his involvement in organized crime and has been linked to several serious offenses, including connections to the banned terror group Babbar Khalsa International. Despite efforts by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) to dismantle his criminal network, Bishnoi continues to operate through associates across various states in India.
