Fresno, California – Gangster Goldy Brar, previously rumored to have been killed in a shooting in California, is actually alive, according to officials. Fresno police confirmed that the individual reported shot is not Goldy Brar, dispelling online chatter and misinformation that spread through social media and news outlets. The confusion surrounding Brar’s status saw Indian media outlets reporting his supposed demise, sparking international inquiries and speculation.
Born in Punjab in 1994, Goldy Brar comes from a family with a background in law enforcement. He was declared a terrorist by India following the murder of Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala in 2022. Authorities link Brar to the Babbar Khalsa terrorist organization, which operates in Canada. Brar moved to Canada in 2017 on a student visa before settling there permanently in 2021, taking over criminal operations initiated by gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
Interpol issued a notice against Brar in 2022, prompting his reported relocation to the United States. Notably, Goldy’s cousin Gurlal Brar was killed outside a Chandigarh nightclub last year, with Bishnoi’s gang claiming responsibility for the act as retaliation for the death of Gurlal Pahalwan, a Youth Congress leader. The elaborate criminal network Brar is believed to be a part of spans multiple countries and involves activities such as contract killings and extortion schemes.
In light of these developments, authorities are closely monitoring the movements and actions of Goldy Brar, given his alleged connections to international terrorist activities and organized crime. The intricacies of his criminal enterprise have drawn attention from law enforcement agencies across borders, highlighting the complex nature of transnational crime and the challenges it poses for security and public safety. As investigations continue into Brar’s activities and associations, the case sheds light on the global reach and sophisticated operations of modern criminal networks.
