Raka & Brother Fauji's Criminal Background

Priyavrat Fauji, currently incarcerated in Tihar Jail, was previously employed in the army but left his position in 2015. After joining forces with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, Fauji's involvement in a murder case drew significant attention. Following his arrest, he was imprisoned in Delhi's Tihar Jail.

Fauji's Extortion Treats From Jail

Despite his confinement, Fauji remained active in criminal activities. Just last month, he allegedly demanded a 50 lakh extortion payment from a dairy operator in Panipat while still incarcerated.
