https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/indian-gang-has-1-000-soldiers-ready-to-carry-out-attacks-in-canada/ar-AA24lsUNA gang based in India sent a letter to Canadian police warning that it has 1,000 members ready to carry out attacks across the country, a court has been told, as Ottawa grapples with a growing extortion crisis.
The Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which was designated as a terrorist entity last year in Canada and operates in the US, UK, Australia and the UAE, sent a letter to a police station in Abbotsford, British Columbia, in August 2025, a police officer told a court on Thursday.
The group described its protection racket as “taxes” and said that if Canadian businesses refused to pay they would face violence.
The contents of the letter were partially revealed by Constable Kevin St Louis to the Immigration and Refugee Board during a deportation hearing.
“This specific letter outlined essentially their criminal organisation, where they talked about having upwards of 1,000 individuals who are willing to carry out these shootings as a part of the group,” he said.
“It also alludes to how every business needs to pay their tax, which I think clearly demonstrates the monetary gain that this group is looking to obtain as a result of these extortions.”
Sergeant Paul Walker told Canada’s Global News that the detectives have been working to investigate the origins of the letter and the contents spoken about within.
