Senior attorney AM Singhvi represented Punjab, while senior attorney Vikram Chaudhri represented the mobster Lawrence Bishnoi’s father.
On June 14, the Delhi Patiala House Court approved both the Punjab Police’s request for transit and the arrest of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in connection with the murder of singer Sidhu Moosewala.
