Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was killed in the daylight in 2022. Satinderjit Singh, who is better known as Goldy Brar, is accused of Moose Wala’s murder, and he confessed to have killed the singer.
In a recently released BBC documentary, Goldy Brar made this chilling confession and said, “In his arrogance, he [Moose Wala] made some mistakes that could not be forgiven.” He further noted, “We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that.”
He further noted, “Lawrence [Bishnoi] was in touch with Sidhu [Moose Wala]. I don't know who introduced them, and I never asked. But they did speak.” Brar, who is a close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, added, “Sidhu used to send 'good morning' and 'good night' messages in an effort to flatter Lawrence.”
The tension between Brar and Moose Wala reportedly started during a Kabaddi tournament in Punjab. Brar claimed, “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.”
However, the BBC report suggested that Vicky Middukhera, an associate of Bishnoi's and an intermediary, had stepped in between Brar and Moose Wala to calm things down. Unfortunately, Middukhera was also gunned down in Mohali in August 2021.
Brar explained, “Everyone knew Sidhu's role, the police investigating knew, even the journalists who were investigating knew. Sidhu mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using political power, money, and his resources to help our rivals.”
He further noted, “We wanted him 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."

However, when Brar was asked about whether his way was justice or vigilantism, Brar spoke dismissively of India's legal system. He told the outlet, “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.”
Brar, who is now operating from Canada, is officially listed as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), with a Red Corner Notice from Interpol and a non-bailable arrest warrant.
In late May 2022, Punjabi musician Sidhu Moose Wala was killed near his village in Punjab's Mansa district. His SUV was blocked by another vehicle, and he was shot at, with over 100 bullets hitting the vehicle.
