According to news agency IANS, the Fresno police department in California on Wednesday denied reports that one of the two persons attacked in a shooting incident was Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar.

Who Is Goldy Brar?

Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, a key suspect in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has a notorious reputation entangled within the murky world of gang warfare. Brar was reportedly born in 1994 in Punjab’s Muktsar Sahib and belonged to a family with a police background.

According to media reports, Goldy Brar is the son of Shamsher Singh, a former assistant sub-inspector in the Punjab Police. Goldy Brar reportedly ranked 15 out of 25 on Canada's most wanted list in May 2023, where he is accused of being involved in more than 50 murders. He gained massive attention in June last year after he claimed responsibility for the murder of  Indian rap star and Congress politician Sidhu Moosewala.

Following Moosewala’s death, Goldy Brar asserted that the murder was a retaliation for the 2022 death of student leader Vicky Middukhera in Punjab. Brar called Moosewala an ‘egotistical person’ who needed to be taught a lesson. “Sidhu Moosewala was an egoistic person. He misused his political and monetary power. It was necessary to teach him a lesson, and he was taught one," Brar told India Today in 2023. The Centre also declared Brar a terrorist in January 2024 under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA).
