With the Punjab Police making out-and-out efforts to extradite him, the Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar on Friday released a video detailing the reasons that led to the broad daylight killing of Punjabi singer-rapper Sidhu Moosewala.
Satinderjit Singh, alias Goldy Brar, maintained that he was compelled to release the video after seeing the people equating Moosewala with the “Sikh martyrs", and coming out in his support in such large numbers. “Ninety-five per cent of the people calling him a martyr of the Sikh faith earlier used to hate and criticise him. What has happened now? He was not a hero of the Sikh panth or a Punjab yodha. He does not deserve that. You are disrespecting the real martyrs by making such a comparison,” said Brar.Brar, in the video, claimed that they had rejected the Punjabi singer’s Rs two-crore “compromise offer” following the Vicky Middukhera killing. “He had been begging for mercy through mediators after the Middukhera murder. He also offered us to pay Rs two crore for his life through some youths of Muktsar but we rejected it,” he said.
Speaking with his face covered sitting in dim light to hide his identity, Brar released the video to a news channel. Both Punjab Police and Delhi Police have authenticated the video to be genuine and that of Goldy Brar’s.The video was released a day after Punjab police chief Gaurav Yadav visited Moosewala’s place on Wednesday. He expressed condolences to his parents and assured them that the culprits would soon be brought to justice.Currently, Goldy Brar, a native of Sri Muktsar Sahib, is believed to be residing in Canada, where he has gone in 2017 on a student visa. He is an active member of Lawrence Bishnoi gang, and is said to be the mastermind behind Moosewala’s killing. Brar had claimed the responsibility of murdering the renowned Punjabi singer on the day of his killing.
