The Mumbai Police have been attempting to secure custody of Lawrence Bishnoi, a high-profile figure currently incarcerated in a Gujarat jail, to further investigations into criminal activities linked to his gang. Bishnoi became a primary focus for Mumbai authorities following a 2024 incident where members of his gang allegedly fired shots outside the residence of actor Salman Khan. The actor has been a long-standing target of the gang, and recent reports also link the group to an assassination attempt involving actor Tiger Shroff.

Despite the interest from Mumbai law enforcement, the transfer of Bishnoi remains stalled. According to reports, a central government order is currently preventing his movement from the Gujarat facility. This situation has drawn comparisons to the case of Chhota Rajan, where jurisdictional and custodial complexities similarly complicated legal proceedings. While the Mumbai Police seek to interrogate Bishnoi regarding his gang's operations and specific threats against public figures, the existing federal directive acts as a legal barrier, keeping him under the jurisdiction of the Gujarat prison system for the time being.
