All about Goldy Brar, Canada-based gangster claiming responsibility for Moosewala's murder

Hours after popular Punjabi singer-turned-Congress leader Sidhu Moosewala was shot dead in broad daylight on Sunday in Punjab's Mansa, Canada-based gangster Satinder Singh, aka Goldy Brar, claimed responsibility for the murder. Issuing a statement on social media, Brar confessed that he, along with Sachin Bishnoi and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, was responsible for the killing.

Taking to social media, Goldy Brar alleged that he, along with Lawrence Bishnoi, had planned Moosewala's assassination as the singer’s name had surfaced in the murder of Akali leader Vicky Middukhera and his cousin Gurlal Brar. Middukher was killed in Mohali in 2021, whereas Gurlal Brar was shot dead in Chandigarh.

"Today, Moosewala was killed in Punjab. I, Sachin Bishnoi and Lawrence Bishnoi take the responsibility. It's our work. Moosewala's name surfaced in our brother Vikramjit Singh Middukhera and Gurlal Brar's murder, but the Punjab Police did not take any action against him. We also came to know that Moosewala was also involved in the encounter of our associate Ankit Bhadu. Moosewala was working against us. Delhi Police had taken his name but Moosewala used his political power and saved his skin each time. No action was being taken against him. He was working against us," Brar said in the statement.
