Meesho Faces Backlash for Selling T-Shirts Featuring Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi

The e-commerce platform has removed the controversial merchandise after criticism for glorifying criminal figures and targeting children.

Meesho listed t-shirts with the image of infamous gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, sparking outrage on social media.
Critics, including filmmaker Alishan Jafri, highlighted the issue as a case of 'India's online radicalisation.'
The t-shirts were priced as low as ₹168 and were also reportedly sold on platforms like Flipkart.
Concerns were raised about the merchandise's potential influence on youth, with some items appearing to target children.
In response to the backlash, Meesho removed the products, reaffirming its commitment to being a safe shopping platform.
