Lawrence told the NIA that he wants to avenge the murder of his cousin Amandeep by killing Rummy Masana, who is a sharpshooter of his enemy Gounder gang.

Gurpreet is the current leader of the Gounder gang and he had provided weapons to Rummy Masana to kill my cousin, Bishnoi said.
He also shared the details of his plan to kill the late Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala who was shot dead by assailants in Punjab’s Mansa district in May last year. Lawrence said he sent three shooters Shahrukh, Danny, and Aman to Moose Wala’s village in September-October 2021. Mona Sarpanch and Jaggu Bhagwanpuria helped them to stay in the village. However, more shooters were then included in the plan.
Between 2018 and 2022, Lawrence, with the help of his close associate Rohit Chowdhary from Uttar Pradesh’s Khurja, bought 25 weapons from arms suppliers Kurban Chowdhary alias Shahzad for about Rs 2 crores. These included a 9 MM pistol and AK 47. These weapons were used in the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala, he told the NIA.
