It is a fact that Goans are concerned about the deteriorating law and order situation in the state.  A chaotic incident reportedly unfolded at a Calangute hotel when two drunk tourists from Jaipur were detained by Goa Police for creating disturbance. According to eyewitnesses, the tourists allegedly assaulted police officers inside the police vehicle while being taken into custody, grabbing their collars and resisting arrest. The duo reportedly claimed to be members of the Bishnoi gang. Recently Anjuna Police has nabbed seven individuals believed to be part of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. The detainees include Vishnu Bishnoi, a trusted aide of the gang leader, who is wanted for numerous offences. The question that arises is whether the dreaded Bishnoi gang is active in Goa. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang is a large international criminal syndicate with over 700 members across several Indian states. The gang's leader, Lawrence Bishnoi, reportedly controls his operations from behind bars. The Goa Police need to investigate as to whether the gang is spreading its tentacles in the state. If so the menace needs to be nipped in the bud.
