Dominion Society of Canada - How Indian Gangsters Destroyed Surrey, BC

00:00:00.000 This is Lawrence Bishnoy, one of the most notorious and feared gang leaders in all of India.

00:00:06.980 A 33-year-old former law student from a small village in Punjab who sits behind bars in a

00:00:13.720 maximum security Indian prison since the year 2015. From his cell, he allegedly runs a transnational

00:00:20.680 crime network using smuggled phones. His gang has been tied to high-profile killings all across the

00:00:26.280 globe. And it's made its way into Canada. Welcome to Surrey, British Columbia.

00:00:35.280 There have been 44 extortion files in Surrey this year. 27 involved shootings. Much of the

00:00:41.560 extortion has been linked to an organized crime group in India called the Lawrence Bishnoy gang.

00:00:47.140 They go after money. Just go after money. Yes. What happens if you say no? If somebody asks

00:00:52.280 for $50,000. Bullets fired into businesses, homes, and cars to intimidate victims into paying up.

00:01:04.540 Primarily South Asian business owners receive a call or text demanding cash or their family

00:01:09.780 will be harmed. I want to introduce you to local journalist Andrew, known online as Drew Coover,
