He met with members of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi at Firozepur Central jail in Punjab.
Later on, for his sharp shooting skills, Ankit went on to became the right hand man of Lawrence Bishnoi.
HOW HE KILLED IN ENCOUNTER?
In Feb 2019, he was killed by a team of Punjab Police’s Organised Crime Control Unit (OCCU) in Zirakpur. Reports then had suggested that Bhadu had come to meet his woman friend in Zirakpur, and was hiding in a flat with some of his accomplices when he was killed by the police.
Reports then stated that he tried to flee by jumping from the second-floor and also tried to take a girl hostage. However, in the encounter he sustained bullet injuries and died.
The Larence Bishnoi-Goldy Brar gang accused Yadav of tipping off Punjab Police about Bhadu’s location, leading to his death in a police encounter.
