Goldy Brar, wanted by Interpol, provided his motive for the Sidhu Moose Wala murder in a series of voice notes to the BBC. “In his arrogance, he [Moose Wala] made some mistakes that could not be forgiven,” Brar said.
“We had no option but to kill him." Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, known as Sidhu Moose Wala, 28, was gunned down in Punjab’s Mansa district 29 May 2022. His vehicle was ambushed and six gunmen armed with AK-47s and pistols opened fire, hitting the rapper with 24 bullets. The central motive, according to Brar, was revenge for the murder of Vicky Middukhera in 2021, an associate of Lawrence Bishnoi.
The origins of the feud was when Moose Wala promoted a kabaddi match organized by the Bambiha gang, rivals of the Bishnoi gang. A brief truce was mediated by Middukhera, but his killing was the end for Moose Wala.
Sachin Bishnoi was extradited to India from Azerbaijan. He is one of the accused in the high-profile murder of Sidhu Moose Wala. Alongside Sachin Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi is also implicated in the murder, as is Goldy Brar. They played a leading role in planning the assassination of Sidhu Moose Wala.
Moose Wala was whacked in his Punjabi village in Mansa, a day after authorities cancelled his security detail.
Within hours of the killing Lawrence Bishnoi reportedly said on social media: “Today, Moosewala was killed in Punjab, I, Sachin Bishnoi, Lawrence Bishnoi take the responsibility. It’s our work. Moose Wala’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 Moose Wala was also involved in the encounter of our associate Ankit Bhadu. Moose Wala was working against us. Delhi Police had taken his name but Moose Wala used his political power and saved his skin each time.”
Fugitive Satinderjit Singh Brar, alias Goldy Brar, is among Canada’s top 25 most-wanted criminals. The RCMP have listed him as number 15. India has repeatedly pleaded with the Canadian government to not allow criminals and terrorists to plan and carry out anti-India crimes from its soil.
