The FBI has launched a major international crackdown on the Lawrence Bishnoi gang under "Operation Hard Ball," arresting 24 suspects after conducting more than 50 coordinated raids across the United States, Canada and Europe. Investigators also charged 37 people in connection with the alleged transnational criminal network. Authorities seized firearms, illegal drugs and large amounts of cash during the operation. Officials say the gang is linked to organised crime, extortion and violent offences affecting communities in North America and India. The operation is one of the largest international actions taken against the Lawrence Bishnoi network to date. (PC: India Today)
