The Punjab and Haryana High Court has slammed the Punjab government for facilitating an interview between mafia boss Lawrence Bishnoi and a private news channel in September 2022, while he was in police custody. The court criticized the police for providing a "studio-like facility" that glorified crime and ordered its removal from social media platforms. Despite this, copies of the interview resurfaced online, prompting the court's ire. The court also reprimanded the government for failing to take disciplinary action against senior cops involved and for submitting an inconclusive report on the security breach after eight months.
