Chandigarh: A badly punctuated, error-laden letter allegedly sent by the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to Canada’s “defence minister, army and police” last year has gone viral after being pulled from police investigation files and released through an Access to Information Act request.
Addressed to Canadian authorities and sent to the Abbotsford Police Department, the note boasts that the gang has “more than 5000 gang member in Canada” and “more guns” than police, and warns it will “rule in CANADA now”.
How Document Surfaced
The letter was part of the file at an immigration hearing for a Bishnoi-linked man who was ordered deported in July 2026. The file also had videos showing how multiple agencies are trying to break up small groups of young Indian nationals allegedly behind extortion in Canada. In separate CBSA disclosures this week, two men — Amitoz Bajwa and Sahibjot Singh — were named as part of an Edmonton-based network accused of shootings and threats in Alberta, Ontario and British Columbia, as reported by The New Indian Express.
The letter’s full text reads: “We are giving you a written warning and challenge. We are Indian gang Canada has no guts to stop us is that clear we will rule in CANADA now no one can stop us we are very powerful. This is our time now Indian we have more than 5000 gang member in Canada they can do shooting for only $1000 can you stop us no way. You will see we will takeover CANADA soon.”
Deportations & Wider Pattern
The disclosure comes two days after the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) deported five Indian-origin men — including Karamveer Singh, described as a close associate of Lawrence Bishnoi, along with Palwinder Singh, Jasmer Singh, Amitoz Bajwa and Sahibjot Singh — under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act over alleged links to organised crime and extortion-related violence. Each case involved offences tied to the Bishnoi network.
Recently, the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC) issued a special bulletin detailing a sustained campaign of coercion.
According to the bulletin, the activity typically involves “financially vulnerable, young male Indian nationals in Canada on study permits” being used as foot soldiers by gangs to carry out targeted acts of violence against South Asian diaspora communities across Canada.
