TORONTO – Is Sidhu Moosewala’s alleged killer Goldy Brar, who openly took responsibility for the star Punjabi rapper’s murder on social media, not arrested by Canadian authorities as he supposedly resides in Toronto.

Immediately following Moosewala’s murder Sunday evening, Brar took responsibility for the murder and, according to Indian authorities, he has been on the radar of the Faridkot police for over a year. But Canadian police have no idea who he is and despite worldwide attention from the murder, there isn’t even any talk of his arrest by police in Canada. 

The name of notorious jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has also come to the fore in the killing.

Brar took to his social media account to claim the responsibility, writing that “he and Lawrence Bishnoi group was behind the murder”.

“Today, Moosewala was killed in Punjab, I, Sachin Bishnoi, 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,” Goldy wrote on his social media post, reports IANS.

Bishnoi’s Brar’s name has come up with a number of prominent murders in Punjab.

Punjab police had booked Satinder Singh, alias Goldy Brar, along with others after the killing of Youth Congress district president Gurlal Singh Pehalwan in 2021 here, the p.

Police probe suggests Brar had hatched the killing to avenge the murder of his cousin Gurlal Singh Brar in Chandigarh in 2020. Gurlal Brar was then state president of SOPU and an aide of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, say sources.

Goldy Brar’s father Shamsher Singh was an ASI in the Muktsar police. He took premature retirement.

On March 9, 2021, the police in Kotkapura arrested Shamsher for alleged role in an extortion racket. As per the FIR, it was alleged Goldy Brar was the kingpin of the extortion racket. While Shamsher used to carry out the recce of potential victims and pass on the information to his son in Canada, the latter used to extort victims using his local contacts.

Brar uses WhatsApp calls or text messages for extortion. In 2021 case, he had made an extortion call to a chemist, who owned a shop in Kotkapura, and demanded Rs 25 lakh. On March 19, 2021, a local court had issued an arrest warrant for the Canada-based gangster.

Gangsters name their aides as per the responsibility assigned to them and they keep changing these

Moosewala’s killing took place in less than 24 hours after Sidhu’s security was curtailed by the government. Moosewala, 28, with a huge fan base running into millions, was shot dead near his village in Mansa district.

Moosewala was taken to a nearby hospital where he was declared dead.

What was the bone of contention?

One Vikramjit Singh Middukhera, 33, a Youth Akali Dal leader popularly known as Vicky Middukhera was shot dead on August 7, 2021. There were allegations that Moosewala had directed his manager Shagunpreet Singh to execute the killing. It was alleged that Singh hired the members of Kaushal gang to execute the killing of Middukhera.

Singh in April this year fled abroad after his name cropped up during the course of investigation.

Anil Kumar a.k.a. Latth, Sajjan Singh a.k.a. Bholu and Ajay Kumar a.k.a. Sunny, members of Kaushal-Bambhia-Lucky Padial gang were held by the Special Cell of the Delhi Police. They were later handed over to the Punjab Police.

They had told the police that Bhuppi Rana and Amit Dagar were involved in giving direction for the murder of Middukhera.

Moosewala had been on the radar of Brar and Bishnoi gang since then.
