NEW DELHI – Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi may be notorious, but has his appeal.

Unfortunately for some Indian online marketplaces and e-commerce platforms, hawking gangster-themed products with his image for as little as 200 rupees (S$3.20) apiece has landed them in hot water.

Maharashtra cyber police said on Nov 7 that they had registered a case against sellers, along with online marketplaces such as Flipkart and Etsy, for selling T-shirts with pictures of Bishnoi, as well as gangster Dawood Ibrahim, who is India’s most wanted criminal.
