Explained: Who is California-Detained Goldy Brar and What is His Connection to the Sidhu Moose Wala Murder?
After Goldy Brar, a major conspirator in the Sidhu Moosse Wala murder, was arrested in California, authorities made a major breakthrough.
Satinder Singh, aka Goldy Brar, was arrested on November 20, according to Indian intelligence sources. As Brar may have sought asylum in the US, the administration is having back-channel conversations.
Brar’s detention comes a day after murdered Punjabi artist Sidhu Moose Wala’s father, Balkaur Singh, appealed to the government to provide at least Rs 2 crore for information leading to the gangster’s arrest in Canada.
On one occasion, Singh said he would pay if the government couldn’t, even if it meant selling his property.
Gangster Goldy Brar’s Life
Brar, born in 1994 in Sri Muktsar Sahib, Punjab, graduated. Since 2017, he has lived in Canada on a student visa.
Officials say he is a close associate of mobster Lawrence Bishnoi and operates from a module in Punjab. It is unclear how they met.

Brar faces several murder, attempted murder, and extortion charges. From Canada, he extorts the Punjab.
Last year, Goldy Brar’s cousin, Gurlal Brar, was killed outside a Chandigarh disc. Bishnoi relied on Gurlal. Goldy killed Faridkot Youth Congress leader Gurlal Pahalwan to exact revenge for his death.
Goldy Brar? His role in the Sidhu Moose Wala murder
After Pehalwan was shot 13 times, including twice in the back of his head and five times on his stomach and chest, mobster Lawrence Bishnoi claimed credit on Facebook.
“We don’t want cops to annoy innocents by publicising this. I, Bishnoi, and Goldy Brar killed Gurlal Pehalwan in Faridkot. Gurlal was repeatedly advised to get out of our way. “But everyone can’t be forced to grasp the words, and I don’t speak much, so I had to take this step,” he wrote.
Dera Sacha Sauda disciple Pardeep Singh was murdered in November by Brar. Brar said on Punjabi Facebook that he killed Pardeep because three administrations failed to prosecute Singh. He stated that anybody disrespecting any faith would be punished.
Pardeep was on bail for stealing a Guru Granth Sahib “bir” in Faridkot in 2015. He was shot and killed while starting his dairy store in Kotkapura.
Goldy Brar and Sidhu Moose Wala Murder
On May 29, eight attackers in Mansa district killed Punjabi singer-turned-Congress politician Sidhu Moose Wala, shocking the nation.
The Punjab Police suspected that the murder was the result of inter-gang rivalry.”This incident looks to be an example of an inter-gang rivalry,” stated Punjab DGP VK Bhawra. He said that Moose Wala’s manager, Shaganpreet, was involved in Vicky Middukhera’s murder last year. Shagunpreet escaped to Australia.
“This murder looked to be in retribution for Middukhera’s murder,” the senior police official said.
