Lawrence Bishnoi Outfit Has 5,000 Foot Soldiers to Take over Canada: Goldy Brar Letter
The letter, copied into a police report, said the gang had more than 5,000 members in Canada and demanded protection payments from businesses.
In August 2025, a letter from the Lawrence Bishnoi gang sent to the Abbotsford Police Department claimed the network has 5,000 members in Canada and possesses more guns than police.
Operating from an Indian jail since 2015, Lawrence Bishnoi directs this international crime organization through lieutenant Goldy Brar, who recruits young operatives to conduct extortion and violence across Canada.
Documents from the Organized Crime Branch of the Edmonton Police Service reveal the gang demands protection money, warning businesses they must pay a 'tax' or face violent attacks, with shootings allegedly costing $1,000.
In Immigration and Refugee Board hearings, Canadian authorities have used these documents to order the deportation of Bishnoi associates Jashandeep Singh and Arshdeep Singh for organized criminality.
Across British Columbia, Alberta, and Ontario, law enforcement agencies continue multi-agency efforts to disrupt this extortion crisis involving cells of young Indian nationals linked to the Bishnoi network.
