Lawrence Bishnoi’s Unauthorized Interviews Raise Concerns, High Court Orders Inquiry

The legal proceedings against gangster Lawrence Bishnoi have taken a new turn as revelations about unauthorized interviews conducted during his custody have surfaced. Advocate Gaurav, representing the petitioner in the case, stated that Bishnoi managed to give two interviews without the necessary permissions, raising serious questions about the conduct of law enforcement agencies.

“Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi gave two interviews without permission,” Advocate Gaurav said, outlining the details that have led to a fresh controversy surrounding the high-profile case. “The first interview of Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi was conducted while he was in the custody of the Kharar Crime Investigation Agency (CIA).” This revelation has sparked concerns about the security and protocols in place during Bishnoi’s detention, particularly considering his criminal background and influence.

The second interview, according to Gaurav, was conducted within the confines of Jaipur Central Jail. The Punjab and Haryana High Court, after reviewing the evidence, confirmed the location and circumstances of this interview. “In the order of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, it became clear that the second interview was conducted in the Jaipur Central Jail,” Gaurav added, pointing to the court’s findings that have further complicated the case.

The unauthorized interviews have prompted the court to take immediate action. The Home Secretary and Advocate General of Rajasthan have been instructed to appear before the court through video conferencing to explain the lapses that allowed these interviews to take place. This directive indicates the seriousness with which the court is treating the matter, as it seeks to understand how such breaches of protocol could occur.

Advocate Gaurav expressed the petitioner’s demand for accountability, urging the court to hold those responsible to account. “We want action to be taken against the officers responsible who were involved,” he stated, emphasizing the need for strict measures against any officials who may have facilitated or overlooked the unauthorized interviews. The involvement of high-ranking officials in the upcoming hearing underscores the gravity of the situation.

The next date of hearing has been set for September 5, giving the court time to gather more information and allow the Rajasthan officials to present their side of the story. This case has highlighted potential gaps in the handling of high-profile prisoners and the responsibilities of law enforcement agencies in ensuring that such individuals are not granted privileges that could undermine the justice process.

As the investigation into the unauthorized interviews continues, the case of Lawrence Bishnoi remains under close scrutiny. The court’s decision in the coming weeks will likely set a precedent for how such breaches are dealt with in the future, particularly in cases involving notorious figures like Bishnoi. For now, all eyes are on the September 5 hearing, where more details are expected to emerge.
