Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, an accused in the murder of Punjabi singer-politician Sidhu Moose Wala, has been shifted to the high-security ward in Gujarat's Sabarmati Jail in connection with a Rs 195-crore drugs case.
He was lodged in Delhi's infamous Tihar Jail before being handed over to the Gujarat Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) in April for allegedly smuggling drugs from Pakistan.
On September 14 last year, the Gujarat ATS, in a joint operation with the Indian Coast Guard, intercepted a Pakistani fishing boat mid-sea near the Jakhau harbour in Gujarat's Kutch district and seized 40 kg of heroin, reportedly worth nearly Rs 200 crore.
