Brar takes responsibility for Moosewala killing

Punjabi singer and rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, who had joined the Congress before the Punjab elections, was shot dead by unidentified assailants in his SUV at Jawaharke village in Punjab’s Mansa district on May 29, 2022.

Shortly after the killing, the next day, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, a close aide of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, took responsibility for Moose Wala’s killing in Punjab. He said in a Facebook post that he had planned it to avenge the killing of another gangster.

The Interpol issued a Red Corner Notice against Goldy Brar in June within eight days after the Central Bureau of Investigation forwarded a request.
