"Glorification Of Crime": High Court Slams Punjab For Lawrence Bishnoi Jail Interview

The court was also irked by copies of the interview resurfacing online despite a December order that it be removed from all social media platforms.

Mafia boss Lawrence Bishnoi's interview in September 2022 - to a private channel while, supposedly, incarcerated in jail - was red-flagged, again, by the Punjab and Haryana High Court on Monday.

The court today reprimanded the Punjab government for failing to follow its August 2024 order, which directed disciplinary action against senior officers who facilitated Bishnoi's interview.

The court had also warned the ruling AAP against making "scapegoats" of junior officers.
