Gangs of Punjab: Who is gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria? Accused in Sidhu Moose Wala murder; friend-turned foe of Lawrence Bishnoi
Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, a notorious gangster, is currently in jail. His mother was recently killed, allegedly by the Bambiha gang. Bhagwanpuria has a long criminal history, including drug trafficking and murder cases. He also has connections to international criminal networks. Police are investigating the recent killing and the claims made by the Bambiha gang. NEW DELHI: From operating drug syndicates from jail to being named in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder case, gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, whose mother was shot dead by the 'rival Bambiha gang' on Thursday night, has emerged as one of Punjab's most notorious criminals in recent years. Who is Jaggu Bhagwanpuria? Born Jagdeep Singh, the gangster takes his alias from his native village, Bhagwanpur, in Gurdaspur. He is currently lodged in Assam's Silchar Central Jail after being detained under the stringent PIT-NDPS Act. Since 2012, Bhagwanpuria has been booked in 128 cases, including high-profile murders, extortion, Arms Act violations and 13 cases under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act. Despite his incarceration, authorities said he continued to operate drug and extortion networks through smuggled mobile phones and encrypted communication, with links traced to operatives in Pakistan, Canada and the United States. Rift with Lawrence Bishnoi Once considered an ally of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, also named in the Moose Wala murder case, the two are believed to have turned rivals after a violent gang clash in Tarn Taran jail in February 2023. Following the fallout, Bishnoi was shifted to a jail in Gujarat in August 2023. In March 2025, following multiple alerts from the Narcotics Control Bureau, the Centre's PIT-NDPS wing directed Bhagwanpuria's transfer to Silchar jail in Assam to sever his influence within Punjab jails. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This 2025 RAV4 Might Be Toyota's Best Yet TheFactualist Undo The move mirrored similar detentions of three other alleged drug lords — Akshay Chhabra, Jaspal Singh alias Goldy, and Balwinder Singh alias Billa Havelian — who were also moved to Assam as part of efforts to dismantle in-prison smuggling networks. Punjab DGP Gaurav Yadav earlier announced the arrest of five members of the Bhagwanpuria and Amritpal Batth gangs. Police claimed to have foiled a planned target killing and seized multiple weapons — including a US-made Glock 9mm pistol and .32 bore firearms — allegedly supplied through Bhagwanpuria's channels. The accused were said to be involved in several previous gang-related cases. Mother, aide gunned down in Batala According to Senior Superintendent of Police, Batala, Suhail Qasim Mir, Harjit Kaur and Karanvir were returning home from Tarn Taran on Thursday night after attending a court hearing when they were attacked near their residence. Unidentified assailants on a motorcycle fired indiscriminately at their vehicle. Karanvir, son of an Assistant Sub-Inspector, died on the spot. Harjit Kaur sustained multiple bullet injuries and was declared brought dead at the hospital. Police have since launched a search operation. No arrests had been made till Friday evening, with the investigation being handled at a high level. Bambiha gang claims responsibility Soon after the attack, a social media post went viral in which Haryana-based gangsters Prabhu Dasuwal and Kaushal Chaudhary — believed to be linked to the Bambiha gang, claimed responsibility. The post stated that Karanvir was the intended target as he allegedly handled operations for Jaggu, including managing fugitives, weapons, and funds. The post reads: 'We — Doni Bal Billa Manga, Prabhu Dasuwal, and Kaushal Chaudhary — take responsibility for Karan's murder in Batala. He used to handle all of Jaggu's operations... Today, by killing him, we have avenged our brother Gore Baryar... From now on, if any of our brothers are wrongfully killed, be ready to pay the price. Anyone else who speaks against us should also be prepared.' Police have not yet verified the authenticity of the claim or confirmed the involvement of the Bambiha gang.

Who is Jaggu Bhagwanpuria? Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi's mentor whose mother was shot in Punjab's Batala
Jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria's mother, and another relative accompanying her, were shot dead in Punjab's Batala by unidentified people on a bike, police said Friday. Jagdeep Singh, alias Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, is a resident of Gurdaspur.(X) Following the incident, which took place around 9.30 pm on Thursday on Qadian road, Bhagwanpuria's mother Harjit Kaur was critically injured. She was rushed to the Batala Civil Hospital in Amritsar, wherein she succumbed to her injuries, a senior police official from Batla told PTI news agency. The Davinder Bambiha gang has claimed responsibility for the killing. Deputy Superintendent of Police, Batala, Paramveer Singh, said that the attackers had fled after the shooting, and efforts were underway to apprehend them. Teams have been formed to nab the killers, and a case has been registered, with police investigating the motive behind the attack, DSP Singh said. Who is Harjit Kaur's son, jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria? Harjit Kaur, who hailed from Bhagwanpur, was earlier elected as a member of the village panchayat. Her son, gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, was in the custody of Punjab Police in connection with the murder of Sidhu Moosewala. He was detained in March under the PIT-NDPS Act, after which he was shifted from central jail in Bathinda to Silchar jail in Assam. Jagdeep Singh, alias Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, is a resident of Gurdaspur. Apart from the two mentioned above, he has more than 120 cases against him. These range from murder, extortion to drug trafficking and charges under the Arms Act. Apart from being known as a feared gangster in Punjab, he is also reportedly the mentor of Lawrence Bishnoi, as per the Free Press Journal. 'His established linkages with international operatives in Canada, United States, and Pakistan warranted his relocation to disrupt the ecosystem facilitating continued criminal activity," a statement on him by the Narcotics Control Bureau in March 2025 said. The attack on Bhagwanpuria's mother is reported to be a part of an ongoing turf war, with an account named 'Gopi Ghanshyampuria' claiming responsibility on behalf of the Davinder Bambiha gang, according to the Free Press Journal. The account said that the intended target of the attack was the relative accompanying Harjit Kaur, Karanveer Singh, who they said ran the operations for the Bhagwanpuria gang.

Caught On Cam, Gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria's Mother And One Other Shot Dead
Last Updated: Harjit Kaur was a former elected member of the village panchayat in Bhagwanpur, where the family hails from. In a shocking incident late Thursday evening, Harjit Kaur, the mother of jailed gangster Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, and a man accompanying her were shot dead by unidentified bike-borne assailants in Punjab's Batala, police confirmed on Friday. The attack occurred around 9:30 pm on Qadian Road, which falls under the Civil Lines area of Batala. According to Deputy Superintendent of Police (DSP) Paramveer Singh, the attackers opened fire while Harjit Kaur and the other victim, identified as Karanvir Singh, were seated inside a car. Both victims sustained multiple gunshot wounds to the face, chest, and abdomen, suggesting the attackers had a clear intent to kill. Karanvir Singh was declared dead on arrival at the Batala Civil Hospital, while Harjit Kaur, who was critically wounded, was rushed to a hospital in Amritsar. Despite efforts to save her, she succumbed to her injuries during treatment, the DSP said. 'Unidentified men on a motorcycle intercepted their car and opened indiscriminate fire before fleeing the scene. A case has been registered and multiple teams have been formed to track down the culprits," DSP Singh stated, adding that the motive behind the killing is still under investigation. Harjit Kaur was a former elected member of the village panchayat in Bhagwanpur, where the family hails from. The brazen nature of the attack has sent shockwaves through the local community, raising concerns about the escalating gang rivalry in Punjab. Her son, Jaggu Bhagwanpuria, one of Punjab's most notorious gangsters, was recently detained under the PIT-NDPS Act and shifted from Bathinda Central Jail to Silchar Jail in Assam in March this year. He is also one of the key accused in the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, apart from facing multiple other criminal charges related to extortion, drug trafficking, and organized crime. The police are currently pursuing several leads, including the possibility of this being an act of gang retaliation linked to Bhagwanpuria's criminal network. Authorities have heightened security in the area and appealed to the public for any information that could help track the shooters.
