The problem isn't about Bishnoi's notoriety or his security, especially in the backdrop of bloody wars between him and his rival gangs in Delhi and Punjab. The problem is his obsession with T-shirts printed with the photographs of freedom fighter Bhagat Singh, one of Punjab and India's most revered martyrs something that police officials suspect is part of an elaborate image-building exercise.
"Lawrence Bishnoi is not a freedom fighter but the head of a criminal gang with cases of murder and extortion. He will not be allowed to wear such T-shirts and use them to promote himself," one of the officials said, asking not to be named. According to this person, photographs of Bishnoi appearing in court in such T-shirts are used extensively in social media.
