India-Canada tussle makes gangster Lawrence Bishnoi an unlikely hero on Twitter – DailyO

Lawrence Bishnoi claiming responsibility for the killing of Sukha Duneke in Canada not only ignited a polarising debate within India, but also set off a remarkable response on social media.
The Internet's reaction to Bishnoi's claim is a reflection of the complex dynamics of hero worship, especially in a society where individuals with a propensity for criminal activities sometimes garner admiration and support. 
X (formerly Twitter) has turned into ground zero for the Lawrence Bishnoi fan club.

Bishnoi has surged into the limelight once more after claiming responsibility for the killing of Khalistani terrorist aide Sukhdool Singh Gill, commonly known as Sukha Duneke, in Canada.

Duneke, a suspected ally of the Bambiha gang, met his demise when unidentified assailants gunned him down. Bishnoi's audacious post asserted his responsibility for this high-profile murder.

Bishnoi, on the other hand, is no stranger to controversy. He had a criminal record that included allegations of extortion, kidnapping, and involvement in violent gang rivalries.
His notoriety had grown to the extent that he was also accused in the murder case of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.

The assassination of Sukha Duneke in Canada did not occur in isolation. It was a stark manifestation of the simmering inter-gang rivalries that have plagued the criminal underbelly of Punjab for years.
While Bishnoi took credit for the killing, another Punjab-based gangster, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, also swiftly came forward to claim responsibility.
In Canada, if an incident occurs, its responsibility is taken by Lawrence Bishnoi, who is based in India. Similarly, if an incident happens in India, its responsibility is taken by Goldy Brar, who is based in Canada.

Both of them belong to the same gang and employ clever…
Tweets also justify Bishnoi's actions, citing the alleged crimes committed by Sukha Duneke and emphasising the notion of "an eye for an eye". This moral framing further reinforces his pedestalisation as a righteous avenger.
This is an appreciation tweet of Lawrence Bishnoi 🔥🙌 you call him the ganster I call him the hero 🥵

The phenomenon of pedestalising criminals or individuals involved in illegal activities is not unique to India, and raises concerns about the role of social media in shaping public perception, as online communities can amplify and normalise narratives that may have real-world consequences.

While Lawrence Bishnoi's newfound hero status on the Internet may be celebrated by some, it underscores the need for deeper discussions about the implications of glorifying criminal figures and the importance of upholding the rule of law and due process in society.
The timing of the killing of Sukha Duneke also raises a few eyebrows given the current temperature in India and Canada. The two countries are fighting a diplomatic war of the worst kind, with visas suspended and diplomats expelled.

It all began with Canadian PM Justin Trudeau accusing New Delhi of having a hand in the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar back in June 2023, on Canadian soil.
In the two days since, India and Canada have spiralled into a kind of diplomatic faceoff seldom seen before. Under the current circumstances, the nuances of a Khalistani terrorist aide being killed in Canada, by a gangster lodged in a jail in Ahmedabad, have not been lost on people.
