Jaiswal, in October 2023, was beaten up by a local goon named Bijender, resulting in multiple injuries.

"To seek revenge, he approached the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate through a key member of the group lodged in Punjab jail.

"As per their plan, sharpshooters went on a motorcycle with a fake number plate for firing at the hotel, whereas Mohan kept his position in his car at a decided place on the escape route with more arms and ammunition, so that after firing, the duo could flee on the motorcycle after dumping the used weapons in the car. The recovered weapons and ammunition were arranged by gang members from Haryana," the DCP added.
