Gangster Goldy Brar, Accused Of Sidhu Moose Wala¡¯s Murder, On Canada's 25 Most-Wanted List
A day after Moose Wala was murdered, Goldy Brar had admitted in a Facebook post that he planned it to avenge the killing of another gangster. Goldy Brar is a close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is the chief suspect in the Punjabi rapper's murder.
Notorious Gangster Goldy Brar, believed to be one of the main conspirators of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala's murder, now features in Canada's list of top 25 most wanted fugitives. He claimed responsibility for the Punjabi singer¡¯s killing in May last year on behalf of Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
He is wanted for murder, criminal conspiracy, supply of illegal firearms, and attempt to murder in India.
Brar is 15th on the list
Interpol-Ottawa's Fugitive Apprehension Support Team has added Goldy Brar's name to the most wanted fugitives list.
Goldy Brar, alias Satinderjit Singh, is believed to be in Canada and represents a risk to public safety, said an official release, adding that the offences he committed in India are "very serious in nature".
"Brar is accused of orchestrating the murders of Rajat Kumar, Gurlal Singh, and is also suspected of ordering the murder of Indian singer, songwriter Shubhdeep Singh aka "Sidhu Moose Wala," it said.
It may be noted that the Canadian authorities have placed Btrar¡¯s life-sized cutout among all 25 fugitives at Toronto's Yonge-Dundas Square. Goldy Brar, who reached Canada on a student visa in 2017, figures 15th on the fugitive list.
He admitted to killing Sidhu Moose Wala
Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in his SUV near his village Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district on June 29.
A day after Moose Wala was murdered, Goldy Brar had admitted in a Facebook post that he planned it to avenge the killing of another gangster. Goldy Brar is a close aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is the chief suspect in the Punjabi rapper's murder.
India had issued an Interpol red notice against Brar, who hails from Punjab¡¯s Mukhtsar, last year. It allows the arrest and detention of a fugitive abroad.
As natives of Muktsar district of Punjab, Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi became friends around a decade ago during their student politics days in Chandigarh. Lawrence Bishnoi was in Tihar Jail when Moose Wala was killed in May - from where he has been running his gang, it is alleged.
