Know the whole matter
Let us tell you that about one and a half years ago, an interview given by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi to a national channel went viral. After this incident, Punjab Police had to face criticism. It was said by Punjab Police that Lawrence's interview went viral not from Punjab jail, but from his old jail. After this, Punjab and Haryana High Court constituted SIT 10 months ago to investigate that interview, the report of which was submitted to the High Court by DGP Prabodh Kumar on Tuesday.
