The post from the Lawrence Bishnoi Gang also contained a direct threat to Badshah, accusing the singer of attempting to “spoil Haryana’s culture.”
The Lawrence Bishnoi Gang has claimed responsibility for a recent firing incident in Panipat and issued a death threat to popular Bollywood rapper and singer Badshah through a message circulated on social media.
According to reports, unidentified assailants opened fire outside an office linked to alleged hawala operations on Assandh Road in Panipat. Soon after the incident, a message surfaced online in which individuals claiming to be associated with the gang took responsibility for the attack.
In the message, two persons identifying themselves as Randeep Malik and Anil Pandit, reportedly based in the United States, claimed they had orchestrated the firing. The note alleged that the targeted office belonged to individuals involved in illegal hawala transactions and accused them of sending money abroad, thereby harming the country’s economy.
The message began with religious slogans and warned people engaged in hawala activities to stop immediately or face severe consequences. It stated that those running such operations had already been warned earlier but failed to heed the warning, adding that the Panipat firing was “just a trailer” and that more action could follow.
The note also contained a direct threat aimed at Badshah. In the message, the singer was accused of attempting to “spoil Haryana’s culture.” The post referred to an earlier incident in 2024 in which the gang allegedly tried to intimidate him at a club, claiming it was merely a warning. It further threatened that the next time the attack would be more serious.
Badshah, whose real name is Aditya Prateek Singh Sisodia, is one of India’s most well-known rappers and playback singers and has delivered several hit tracks in Bollywood and the Punjabi music industry.
The development comes at a time when the singer is already facing legal trouble, with reports suggesting that the Haryana Police may take action against him in a separate matter.
