Parry wanted to quit crime, so Lawrence had him killed: Kin | India News

CHANDIGARH: A day after Inderpreet Singh, alias Parry, a one-time trusted aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, was gunned down on a Chandigarh street, two audio clips, purportedly of Goldy Brar, Lawrence’s rival, were released Tuesday containing a threat to kill Lawrence to avenge the murder, intensifying fears of a gang war.While police are verifying the authenticity of the audios, Parry’s family says he was murdered because he wanted to quit crime. “He was acquitted in eight of the 12 cases against him. He got married on Nov 13 and wanted to start life afresh, leaving the life of crime behind. But the Lawrence gang was not happy with his decision. Parry’s unwillingness to be associated with Lawrence or any other gangster was the main reason behind his murder,” said a relative.“We are affluent. We don’t need his crime money,” added another relative.“Losing her newly-married son has sent Parry’s mother into a state of shock,” said Harneet Singh, Parry’s brother, an ASI with Punjab police. Parry’s father retired as a Punjab police inspector.Talking to TOI over the phone, Parry’s brother said Lawrence was a frequent visitor to their house, and would often stay overnight. Mourning his brother, he said, “My mother would feed Lawrence like a son and he repaid her love by killing Parry.”Recounting his last few hours, Parry’s kin said that on the day of the murder, he left to drop his bride somewhere around 4pm. When he returned, he received a call from one of his friends and left home again. He met some friends at a club in Sector 26 and that is when he received a call from Lawrence, who called him to the nearby timber market to discuss a “personal issue” and said his associates will accompany him, said his family. When he reached the designated spot, he was shot dead, they said.It tallies with what the audio clips say. A voice purportedly of Goldy claims Lawrence called Parry on the phone on Monday, congratulated him on his wedding and said he needed to discuss a personal matter. “He asked Parry to come to a place in Sector 26, saying some of his gang members would meet him there and it would be safe to talk on the phone. When Parry arrived to talk, he was murdered,” he says.The voice on the ‘Goldy’ audio clip then threatens Lawrence, saying, “No one in the world can save you now.”
