The Supreme Court reviewed a petition from former Punjab DSP Gursher Singh Sandhu concerning the controversial jail interview of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Sandhu argued he was unfairly targeted despite not being implicated in the FIR. The Court dismissed his petition, allowing him to seek relief at the High Court, where investigations revealed security failures leading to multiple suspensions.
The Punjab and Haryana High Court criticized the police for providing gangster Lawrence Bishnoi with a studio-like setup for an interview that glorified crime. The court called for a deeper investigation into potential police corruption and negligence, amid concerns about complicity in criminal activities, leading to the suspension of several officers.
