The Centre on Monday declared gangster Goldy Brar as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act. Issuing a notice, the Ministry of Home Affairs said that Goldy Brar is associated with the banned Khalistani outfit Babbar Khalsa International. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Union Home Ministry also asserted that Goldy Brar is backed by cross-border terror agencies and was involved in several killings, including making threatening calls to pro-nationalist leaders, demanding ransom and posting the claims of killings on different social media platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Reportedly, the Canada-based terrorist had also claimed responsibility for the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala in 2022. In May 2022, Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in Punjab’s Mansa district. Later, the police named Brar as the mastermind behind the murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Ministry of Home Affairs also stated that Goldy Brar was involved in smuggling high-grade arms, ammunitions and explosive materials through drones from across the border and supplying them to sharp shooters to carry out killings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furthermore, the Ministry added that he and his associates have been conspiring to disrupt the peace, communal harmony and law and order in the State of Punjab through nefarious designs involving sabotage, raising of terror modules, carrying out targeted killings, and other anti-national activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, Interpol had issued a Red Corner Notice (RCN) for Goldy Brar\u2019s extradition in June 2022, days after Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Goldy Brar is known to be a close aide of Lawrence Bishnoi. Brar, who is based in Canada, is wanted in several criminal cases in India such as the killing of Faridkot District Youth Congress president Gurlal Singh Pehlwan in 2021. Reports said that the Delhi Police had arrested a relative of Brar in connection with Pehlwan’s murder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Previously, media reports quoting police sources had claimed that Pehlwan was murdered in retaliation for the killing of Gurlal Brar, a former SOPU chief, in 2020. Gurlal Brar also happened to be a cousin of Goldy Brar.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
