Lawrence Bishnoi and the Rise of New Mafia Empires in Mumbai
- Lawrence Bishnoi's criminal empire has been in the news for alleged assassinations and ties to police forces.
- Mumbai has a history of mafia and organised crime, with figures like Karim Lala, Vardarajan Mudliar, and Maan Mza ruling the city in the 1970s and 1980s.
- The economic policies of the time helped these figures build their smuggling bases.
- The underworld changed in the 1990s with the rise of hardened criminals like Daud Ibrahim.
- The bombings in 1993 split the underworld on communal lines, leading to a shift in power and location of operations.
- Despite crackdowns, some gangs still operate in the city, and the circumstances for a mafia system to rebuild itself in Mumbai still exist.
