“I take responsibility for the murder of Sonu Shah who was killed today (on September 28). Sonu used to harass poor people and extort money from them and supported my rivals. He used to interfere in my work in Chandigarh. My brother Kala Rana and Raju Basodi killed him at my instance. My brother Raju operates my phone. Anyone facing any problem can contact me on my Whatsapp number,” the Facebook post mentioned.

After receiving information about the Facebook post, a joint team of the Sewer jail and state police officials searched the jail on Sunday evening, but did not find any mobile.

“We regularly search Lawrence Bishnoi in jail. Nothing was found from him during search operation,” said Sudhir Prakash Poonia, the jail superintendent.
