New York, May 1: Gangster Goldy Brar, implicated in the murder of Punjabi musician Sidhu Moosewala, was reportedly shot dead in the United States, as per media reports on Wednesday.
The shooting purportedly happened at around 5:25 pm local time at Fairmont and Holt Avenue, according to News18. Unidentified attackers allegedly opened fire on Brar and his companion outside his residence before escaping the scene. Both victims were hospitalised, with one succumbing to injuries.
Arsh Dalla and Lakbhir, known enemies of Brar, are reported to have claimed responsibility for the attack due to their longstanding feud with him. However, no response has been received from Lawrence Bishnoi and other gang members about these claims. Goldy Brar, also known as Satwinderjit Singh, was born in 1994 in Muktsar Sahib, Punjab, to a law enforcement family.
He was a Canadian-born BA graduate who worked remotely from Canada in Punjab. In 2020, Brar’s cousin Gurlal Brar was killed outside a Chandigarh nightclub.
Gurlal, a close associate, was allegedly targeted by Bishnoi’s gang in response to the death of Youth Congress leader Gurlal Pahalwan. Following these events, Goldy reportedly moved to Canada in 2021, having entered the country on a student visa in 2017.
