Lawrence’s connection to Jodhpur
Two and a half years ago, Lawrence tried to recover from some traders and opened fire outside his house to make Jodhpur his new destination. A businessman was shot and killed. In these cases, the Jodhpur police arrested him from Punjab and brought him to Jodhpur. Within a few days in jail, he got many local miscreants to join him.

In such a situation, he has been locked up in Bharatpur Jail for a long time. The strength and dominance of his gang in Rajasthan can be gauged from the fact that no jailer is easily ready to keep him in his prison.
Salman is Lawrence’s target on his quest to become a hero
This vicious gangster of ordinary stature took Salman as his next target just to be in the news. During his stay in Jodhpur jail, he got to hear stories of Salman Khan’s deer hunting case and his stay in this jail.

The Lawrence gang is also reported to have a stock of expensive pistols and guns. The pictures in the Facebook profile show that Lawrence considers many great revolutionaries including Vishnoi Bhagat Singh as his ideal.
