When a probe was on into how Lawrence Bishnoi gave two TV interviews from jail after the Sidhu Moosewala killing, a Punjab Police DSP was allegedly sending him birthday gifts, including a box of murabba, through one of the gangster’s accomplices.The DSP, Gursher Singh Sandhu, was later dismissed from service for facilitating one of Bishnoi’s infamous interviews.This new revelation has come to light in disclosures made by Bishnoi gang member Rajvir Singh, alias Ravi Rajgarh, to the Khanna police. The interrogation report of July 2025, which has not been officially made public, has been accessed by The Tribune.The report, confirmed by multiple police sources, reveals that Rajvir received a call from Bishnoi on February 10, 2024, asking him to collect items from DSP Gursher Singh and deliver these at Sabarmati Jail, Ahmedabad, on the occasion of Bishnoi’s birthday on February 11.On February 10, he visited Gursher Singh’s office at Phase 7, Mohali. Interestingly, just a month earlier, the Punjab Police, on the directions of the Punjab and Haryana High Court, had registered two FIRs regarding two back-to-back interviews of Lawrence. The DSP sent the gifts when the probe was on.Rajvir has revealed that the DSP handed him one or two caps and a box of murabba — a traditional fruit preserve — for the gangster. Rajvir, accompanied by another gang member, Supinder Singh, travelled to Ahmedabad by air and handed the items to Bishnoi inside Sabarmati Jail.Rajvir was arrested in July 16, 2025, under the Arms Act. Earlier, an FIR was registered against him on April 9, 2025, under multiple sections of the BNS and the Arms Act at the Doraha police station in Khanna.The controversial interviews have raised questions over the “police-gangster nexus”.It all started in mid-March in 2023 — ahead of the first death anniversary of Moosewala — when Bishnoi appeared in two back-to-back television interviews.After a public outrage, the Punjab and Haryana High Court stepped in and ordered the registration of FIRs and a probe by a special investigation team (SIT).A SIT headed by ADGP Prabodh Kumar (asked by the court to continue heading the probe panel after his retirement) has submitted a number of status reports regarding the probe highlighting how the interviews were conducted.The SIT investigation revealed that one of the interviews was conducted at Kharar Jail on September 3 and 4, 2022, over three months after Moosewala’s murder. Bishnoi was in DSP Gursher Singh Sandhu’s custody in Kharar.The CIA office had reportedly been turned into a studio-like setup, with unchecked access and police Wi-Fi placed at the gangster’s disposal.Seven personnel, including two DSPs, were suspended in October 2024. Gursher Singh Sandhu was subsequently dismissed from service in early 2025. He is absconding since then.
