Criminal career[edit]
In May 2022, a Faridpur court had issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against him for killing District Youth Congress President, Gurlal Singh Pehalwan.[4] After that, on 29 May 2022, he allegedly killed an Indian singer and politician Sidhu Moose Wala, according to a Facebook post sent by Brar taking responsibility for the shooting.[5]
Brar is a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which is one of the most notorious criminal gangs in Punjab. The gang is known for its involvement in a number of high-profile crimes, including the murder of several high-ranking police officials.[2]
Brar is currently on the run from the Indian and Canadian authorities.
The Indian government has issued a Red Corner Notice against him, which means that he can be arrested and extradited from any country that is a member of Interpol.[6][7] Brar is accused of conspiring with others to acquire and supply illegal firearms, and using those firearms to commit murder and attempt murder.[6]
India's Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) designated Goldy Brar, alleged mastermind behind singer Sidhu Moosewala's murder, a terrorist under UAPA. The MHA cited his association with Babbar Khalsa International (a listed terrorist organization), involvement in killings, cross-border activities, arms smuggling, and threatening calls. This move underscores Brar's perceived threat to national security.[8]
Brar has been named among the top 25 most wanted fugitives by the BOLO, which has offered a reward of $50,000 for information leading to Goldy Brar’s arrest.[2]
