I&B ministry advises ZEE5 not to release 'Lawrence of Punjab'

The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting has advised ZEE5 not to release 'Lawrence of Punjab', a docu-series on gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, after the Punjab Police expressed apprehension that it posed a risk to public order.

Punjab Congress chief Amrinder Singh Raja Warring on Thursday (April 23, 2026) moved the Punjab and Haryana High Court, seeking a ban on the release of the web series, claiming it would glorify gangster culture.
