In recent news, the Kshatriya Karni Sena has stirred controversy by announcing a reward of ₹1,11,11,111 for any police officer who conducts an “encounter” against jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. This announcement came through a video statement by the group’s national president, Raj Shekhawat.
The motive behind this bold declaration is linked to recent high-profile killings, including the deaths of former Maharashtra minister Baba Siddique and Sukhdev Singh Gogamedi, for which Bishnoi’s gang allegedly claimed responsibility. Currently, Bishnoi is imprisoned in Gujarat’s Sabarmati Jail for cross-border crimes and drug-related charges.
This public announcement raises ethical and legal questions about vigilante-style rewards. Many are concerned about its implications for the justice system and the potential escalation of violence. The issue is currently under the spotlight, as it touches on gang rivalry, politics, and the security of public figures.
