The US Police have denied that Goldy Brar, the gangster behind the murder of Indian Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala, was killed in California.
Internet was flooded with reports that two men reportedly shot in Fairmont and Holt Avenue in Fresno, California, yesterday after a fight. One of them later died in the hospital, said the US police.
Many speculated that the person who was shot dead was Goldy Brar.
The Fresno police department has now responded to the reports, saying they are "untrue". In response to a query, Lieutenant William J. Dooley said, "If you are inquiring because of the online chatter claiming that the shooting victim is 'Goldy Brar', we can confirm that this is absolutely not true."
The police said the reports were misinformation and added that they are getting inquiries from around the world.
"We have received inquiries from around the world this morning as a result of misinformation being spread on social media and online news agencies. We are not sure who started this rumour, but it caught on and spread like wildfire. But again, it isn't true. The victim is definitely not Goldy," he added.
According to some local reports, the man killed in the incident has now been identified as 37-year-old Xavier Galdney.
