Sidhu Moose Wala Murder: Over two years after the shocking murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, gangster Satinderjit Singh, known as Goldy Brar, has admitted in an exclusive BBC interview that the killing was deliberate and calculated. Brar, who is based in Canada, said the decision to eliminate Moose Wala was a consequence of the singer’s alleged actions and affiliations, stating bluntly: “In his arrogance, he [Moose Wala] made some mistakes that could not be forgiven… It was either him or us. As simple as that.”

On May 29, 2022, Moose Wala was ambushed in broad daylight while driving his Mahindra Thar near his village in Punjab’s Mansa district. Two vehicles trailed and intercepted his SUV before opening fire, hitting the vehicle with more than 100 bullets. The brutal killing sent shockwaves across India and among the Punjabi diaspora globally.

Goldy Brar, originally from Sri Muktsar Sahib in Punjab, is a known associate of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. He has been designated a terrorist by India’s Ministry of Home Affairs under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against him, and he remains wanted under a non-bailable warrant.

According to the Home Ministry, Brar is part of a cross-border terror and crime syndicate involved in smuggling weapons and explosives via drones from Pakistan. His links to the banned terror group Babbar Khalsa International have also been flagged, along with allegations that he’s been recruiting armed modules to disrupt Punjab’s peace through targeted killings and organised crime.

In his interview with the BBC, Brar recounted details of Moose Wala’s connections with his rival group. “Lawrence [Bishnoi] was in touch with Sidhu [Moose Wala]. I don't know who introduced them, and I never asked. But they did speak. Sidhu used to send 'good morning' and 'good night' messages in an effort to flatter Lawrence.”

He claimed the conflict escalated over a kabaddi tournament in Punjab, where Moose Wala was seen promoting a rival gang. “That's a village our rivals come from. He was promoting our rivals. That’s when Lawrence and others were upset with him. They threatened Sidhu and said they wouldn't spare him,” Brar said.

The feud temporarily simmered after intervention by Vicky Middukhera, an associate of Bishnoi. However, Middukhera was shot dead in Mohali in August 2021. Brar alleges Moose Wala had a role in the killing. “Everyone knew Sidhu's role, the police investigating knew, even the journalists who were investigating knew,” Brar said. “Sidhu mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using political power, money, and his resources to help our rivals.”

Frustrated by inaction, Brar said they took matters into their own hands. “We wanted hi m to face punishment for what he’d done. He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea. So we took it upon ourselves. When decency falls on deaf ears, it's the gunshot that gets heard.”

When asked whether he saw his actions as vigilante justice, Brar dismissed India’s judicial system altogether. “Law. Justice. There's no such thing. Only the powerful can... [obtain] justice, not ordinary people like us. I did what I had to do for my brother. I have no remorse whatsoever.”
