Breaking: Canada declares Bishnoi gang a terrorist organisation
Babushahi Bureau
Ottawa (Canada), September 29, 2025: The Canadian government has officially designated the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist organization under its criminal code. Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree announced the decision, stating that there is no place for violence and extremist activities in Canada.
With this designation, the gang’s assets, vehicles, and financial resources in Canada can now be seized or frozen. The listing provides Canadian agencies with a legal framework to take stringent action against the group in matters of finance, travel, and recruitment.
“Every person in Canada has the right to feel safe in their home and community and as a government it is our fundamental responsibility to protect them. Specific communities have been targeted for terror, violence and intimidation by the Bishnoi Gang. Listing this group of criminal terrorists gives us more powerful and effective tools to confront and put a stop to their crimes.” Gary Anandasangaree, Minister of Public Safety.
The government also clarified that any dealings with or support for the Bishnoi gang by Canadian citizens, both within the country and abroad, will be treated as a criminal offense. Immigration and border security agencies will use this listing to restrict the gang’s entry and influence in Canada.
The Bishnoi gang, originally operating from India, has been active internationally, including in Canada, with alleged involvement in organized crime and violent activities.
