A social media post by Goldy Dhillon, a known associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, surfaced shortly after the shootings. In the post, Dhillon accused the restaurant owner of harassing employees and failing to pay their salaries.
He warned that anyone exploiting workers would be dealt with in the same way.
On October 5, the Bishnoi gang had opened fire at multiple locations in Canada and later claimed responsibility for the act. It said one Navi Tesi had extorted money in the name of Lawrence Bishnoi, hence they carried out shootings.
A day later, on October 6, the National Investigation Agency had chargesheeted one more accused for using fake documents to aid Lawrence Bishnoi gang members in procuring passports to escape the country and carry on with their terror activities.
The case relates to a terror conspiracy hatched by the dreaded Lawrence Bishnoi gang in association with the proscribed Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) terror organisation to spread terrorism in India.
In its fifth charge sheet filed last week before the NIA special court, Patiala House, in Delhi, the probe agency had charged Rahul Sarkar with facilitating gang members in committing terror activities in India.
Sarkar is the 22nd accused to be chargesheeted so far in the case. Of these, 18 accused, including Sarkar, have been arrested, while four are absconding.
Besides assisting the gang members in fleeing the country, Sarkar was involved in preparing and arranging forged identity documents, such as Aadhaar cards, voter IDs, bank passbooks, etc, for them.
The accused used the fake documents to aid the gang members, including co-accused Sachin Bishnoi, in procuring passports to escape the country and carry on with their terror activities, NIA investigations revealed.
The case was originally registered by the Delhi Police Special Cell on August 4, 2022. The NIA, which took over the investigation on August 26, the same year, is continuing to probe the terror-gangster nexus in the case.
