According to Godara’s purported social media statement, the attack occurred near Highway 41, Exit 127, in Fresno. He alleges that Harry Boxer and his associates were ambushed, resulting in the death of one of Boxer’s aides and critical injuries to another, who was subsequently hospitalized. The post included taunts directed at Harry Boxer, referring to him by his alias “Hariya,” and claimed he hid during the attack. The detailed nature of the post suggests a meticulously planned operation by Godara’s gang.

This alleged attack underscores the intensifying global turf war. Both the Bishnoi and Godara networks, with substantial operations spanning India, Canada, the United States, and Europe, have been engaged in a series of violent confrontations and online threats over the past year. The recent incident in California, following similar events reported in Canada and Portugal, highlights the expanding reach of these organized crime factions beyond India’s borders. International law enforcement agencies are reportedly closely monitoring these activities, given the gangs’ involvement in extortion, drug trafficking, and contract killings on a global scale.

Harry Boxer, identified as a prominent overseas operative for Lawrence Bishnoi, was reportedly active on social media, often claiming responsibility for actions and challenging rivals. Rohit Godara’s message also contained stark warnings to supporters of the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate, vowing retribution and emphasizing that no one would be spared. The message signals that the cycle of retaliatory violence is expected to continue, with implications for international security.

The discussions between Doval and Drouin covered issues such as action against terrorism, sharing of intelligence, and tackling organized crime. Both countries also stressed the importance of developing a common perspective on regional and global challenges. The Ministry of External Affairs stated that the process of building trust and working together between the leaders of India and Canada is rapidly advancing.

This meeting is considered a significant step towards improving relations, which soured after the 2023 assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. At the time, then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had accused India of involvement in Nijjar’s killing, leading to strained relations. Both countries had withdrawn their diplomats. Now, both countries have begun working towards rebuilding mutual trust. The groundwork for this meeting between NSA Doval and Nathalie was laid at the G7 Summit.
