The Punjab Police has arrested the parents of US-based gangster Goldy Brar in an extortion case, in Muktsar district on Monday. The FIR was registered based on a complaint by a local resident in 2024.
Muktsar SSP Abhimanyu Rana informed that Brar's father, Shamsher Singh, and mother, Preetpal Kaur, were arrested, adding that they have a house in Adesh Nagar, Muktsar. Originally, the family hails from Faridkot district.
The action was taken amid the ongoing crackdown against gangsters in Punjab. Police officials have identified and mapped locations linked to 1,200 associates of 60 foreign-based gangsters and their 600 family members, allegedly involved in criminal activities.
Goldy Brar is one of the main accused in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in 2022. Brar had earlier claimed responsibility for the singer’s murder. Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar is believed to be in the US at present. He went to Canada on a student visa in 2017.
Earlier, he was an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang. Last year, he parted ways with them, and now he is part of the Brar-Rohit Godara-Kala Jatheri gang.
Brar was officially designated as a ‘terrorist’ under the anti-terror law for his involvement in smuggling high-grade arms, ammunition and explosives through drones from across the border to carry out killings in India.
