**Gangster-Linked Confessions: Threats and Violence Against Indian Nationals Abroad**
Two men linked to gangster Rohit Godara have admitted to shooting at the California residence of an Indian national, claiming their target was financing Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). This confession emerges amidst a troubling trend of violent incidents involving Indian gangs operating internationally, including recent attacks attributed to both the Godara and Lawrence Bishnoi gangs.
In their online statement, the individuals, identified as Mahendra Delana and Rahul Rinau, took responsibility for the attack on Rakesh Rajdev’s home, asserting that both Rajdev and Saurav Mahakal, who runs the online betting platform Mahadev Book, are involved in funding activities that support Pakistan. They issued stark warnings to others allegedly engaged in similar actions, stating, “Mend your ways in time, or the consequences will be severe. Any bookie funding Pakistan will be our enemy.”
The gang’s message further threatened that increased security measures would not protect potential targets, emphasizing their capability to execute violent acts regardless of the circumstances. “You may think 40 guards make you safe. Even if you have 400, we can still get you killed,” they claimed.
Referencing recent violent incidents, the gang asserted their ability to carry out attacks globally, stating, “For us, killing someone in any country is not difficult. No matter where you hide, we will find you.” They warned against betraying the country, promising severe repercussions for those who do.
The Rohit Godara gang, along with associates like Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar, has been implicated in numerous violent acts, including contract killings across countries such as Canada, the US, Dubai, and the Philippines. In October, three men associated with Godara confessed to a shooting in Canada, indicating that this was merely the beginning of their violent campaign.
Earlier that month, comedian Kapil Sharma’s Kap’s Cafe in Surrey, British Columbia, was attacked for the third time in four months, with gang affiliates claiming responsibility for the assault. The cafe faced its first attack on July 10, followed by another on August 7.
As these incidents unfold, the international community remains on high alert regarding the activities of Indian gangs abroad and their potential implications for safety and security.
