On Lawrence Bishnoi's hit list, Munawar Faruqui given security

Mumbai Police last month provided security to stand-up comedian Munawar Faruqui as a precautionary measure after learning that a few members of Lawrence Bishnoi gang attempted to kill him in Delhi. A police official confirmed that they provided security to Munawar, but refused to elaborate, citing security reasons. Members of Lawrence Bishnoi gang trailed the Faruqui, who is on the gang's hit list and booked themselves a room at a Delhi hotel where the comedian was lodged for performing at an event in Sep. However, with the timely action of the intelligence agency , the attack was foiled, and the artiste was moved back to safety under police cover, said a source.
