The story of a Bishnoi foot soldier
Abjeet Kingra came to Canada with big hopes. His parents in India had sacrificed to get him a student visa so he could pursue a degree, a job and permanent residence.
Instead, he became a foot soldier of the Bishnoi gang , the India-based crime group that has become such a menace that Canada recently branded it a terrorist organization.
On Sept. 2, 2024, Kingra and an accomplice drove up a cul-de-sac on southern Vancouver Island and parked near the home of the gang’s latest target.
Wearing a balaclava, his partner emptied the contents of a plastic jerry can onto a Dodge Ram and Volkswagen Beetle parked in the driveway.
A security camera recorded the flames erupting from the vehicles as Kingra aimed a handgun at the house, fired off 14 shots and fled into the waiting car.
“I choose wrong way to support my family,” Kingra later wrote in a handwritten apology penned in faltering English.
“I feel sorry for my actions and I am very ashamed.”
The order to shoot up the house near B.C.’s capital came from the gang headed by Lawrence Bishnoi, who calls himself an Indian nationalist and patriot.
