Bishnoi’s empire relies on four trusted operatives: Goldy Brar, Sampat Nehra, Vikramjeet Singh, and Hashim Baba. These key figures handle operations ranging from logistics to high-profile hits, cementing Bishnoi's influence even as he operates from jail.
Suspected to be in the UK, Goldy Brar is the gang’s handler. Declared a “designated terrorist,” he’s linked to the killing of singer Sidhu Moosewala and Canada’s top fugitives list, managing tasks, logistics, and the gang’s deadly reach internationally.
The son of a former police officer, Nehra’s skills as a sharpshooter have made him Bishnoi’s go-to hitman. With over 65 cases, he’s been charged in high-profile murders and is currently jailed in Bathinda, coordinating deadly operations from behind bars.
Known as Bishnoi’s “man in the Middle East,” Vikramjeet managed gang finances and logistics from the UAE until his recent deportation. Now in a Rajasthan jail, his involvement in the Sidhu Moosewala case and Khalistani links deepen the gang’s cross-border influence.
Based in Tihar Jail, Hashim is a long-time crime ally of Bishnoi, with roots in Delhi’s underworld. He’s been involved in high-profile hits, including the GTB hospital shooting, showing Bishnoi’s ability to influence events from within India’s prison walls.
Bishnoi’s gang extends beyond India, with Goldy Brar and Vikramjeet Singh operating internationally. The gang’s activities have drawn scrutiny, with Canadian officials alleging ties to terror modules, intensifying its global footprint and law enforcement challenges.
The Bishnoi gang’s fixation on Salman Khan dates back to the 1998 blackbuck case. Despite police action, recent threats and shots fired outside Khan’s residence show their determination to avenge the blackbuck incident, adding a Bollywood angle to Bishnoi’s web.
Bishnoi’s gang isn’t just involved in criminal extortion—it’s implicated in political killings. The recent assassination of NCP leader Baba Siddique, a close friend of Khan, and other political figures have escalated Bishnoi’s standing as one of India’s most feared gangsters.
With 700 operatives, Bishnoi’s gang has thrived despite his incarceration. The NIA’s investigation likens him to Dawood Ibrahim, revealing a network rooted in student politics, weapon supply, and strategic alliances that have transformed into a nationwide crime syndicate.
