Bishnoi moved to Sabarmati jail’s ‘Block 200’

Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has been transferred to the high-security Block 200 at Ahmedabad's Sabarmati Central Jail. This specialized area houses 200 inmates accused of terrorism and other serious offenses. Block 200 is divided into four sections, each with 50 prisoners, to maintain strict isolation. Bishnoi's cell measures about 7.5 ft by 11 ft.

Before this move, he was in a smaller high-security enclosure called "Dus Kholi," designed for just 10 inmates. He had been previously held in Tihar Jail and various prisons in Punjab. Bishnoi's communication with the outside world has been restricted, with only video conferencing allowed for court proceedings and discussions with his lawyer.

Despite his isolation, Bishnoi's criminal network continues to operate through a decentralized structure, with members coordinating activities from safe locations abroad.
