Lawrence Bishnoi moved to Sabarmati jail’s high-security Block 200
The Story in Brief
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has reportedly been moved to Block 200, the high-security wing of Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Central Jail that houses 200 inmates accused or convicted in terrorism and other serious offences, including the 2008 Ahmedabad serial blasts case. His cell measures about 7.5 by 11 feet. The block, also known as “Do Sau Kholi,” is divided into four segregated sections of 50 prisoners each to enforce isolation and restrict movement.
Before the transfer, Bishnoi was in the smaller “Dus Kholi” unit. He had previously been held in Delhi's Tihar Jail and in Punjab prisons. Investigators report no direct calls from Bishnoi in the past two years, though his syndicate continues to operate through a decentralised chain of command from overseas, with key figures Goldy Brar and Rohit Godara based abroad.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both outlets rely on the same Times of India wire copy, so the coverage is uniform. The story is a straight factual report of Lawrence Bishnoi's transfer to Sabarmati jail's Block 200, describing the cell, the security regime, and the lack of change in his syndicate's overseas operations. Neither outlet adds its own framing or commentary. No figure, date or claim in the text is contested between the two sources. The story's implication is that physical isolation inside a maximum-security block has not stopped the network, which continues to be run from abroad through a decentralised command.
