Bishnoi Gang Terror in Canada | Punjabi Singer’s Home Attacked Amid Extortion Threats

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, notorious for its violent operations and extortion rackets in India, has now expanded its terror footprint to Canada. In a chilling development, the home of Punjabi singer Channi Natan was sprayed with bullets, sparking widespread fear within the Punjabi diaspora and the entertainment community abroad.

According to Natan’s associate Arvind Oja, the attack was premeditated and followed a threatening post by the Bishnoi gang on social media. The post allegedly read, “We will target anyone associated with Sardar Khaira, and very soon, Sardar Khaira himself will be our next target.” The cryptic message has been interpreted as part of the gang’s ongoing extortion campaign targeting Punjabi artists and promoters.

The Canadian authorities have launched an investigation into the shooting, which they suspect to be a warning attack linked to organized criminal networks operating across borders. The Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate, already facing multiple charges in India related to murder, smuggling, and extortion, was recently designated a terrorist entity by the Canadian government.

This latest incident underscores the growing transnational threat posed by South Asian criminal syndicates. Experts say these gangs have leveraged social media, illegal funding routes, and local contacts to extend their influence beyond India’s borders, particularly in countries with large Punjabi communities.

Security analysts note that the Bishnoi network’s operations in Canada mirror its activities in India—using fear and violence to control artists and businessmen for financial gain. The attack on Natan’s home is being viewed as a direct message to others in the Punjabi entertainment industry who have resisted extortion attempts.

With the Canadian police ramping up surveillance and coordinating with Indian agencies, the incident has reignited concerns over the global reach of Indian organized crime groups and their infiltration into legitimate industries like music and entertainment.
