New Delhi, August 24, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Fugitive gangster Goldy Brar has purportedly claimed responsibility for the killing of pro-Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in June 2023, according to a leaked audio conversation with UK-based pro-Khalistan terrorist Paramjit Singh Pamma.
In the recording, Brar allegedly says that he and his associates targeted Nijjar over his alleged links to people involved in drug trafficking and the use of young people in the drug trade. The authenticity of the audio has not been independently verified, although intelligence sources have reportedly identified the voice as Brar’s.
Brar, who is wanted in India in several criminal cases, including the killing of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, is associated with the Lawrence Bishnoi organised crime network.
The purported admission has surfaced amid renewed scrutiny of Nijjar’s killing and international investigations into transnational organised crime. The recording reportedly emerged in the wake of Operation Hardball, a US-Canada law enforcement crackdown targeting organised crime networks, which has brought renewed attention to Brar and Bishnoi.
Nijjar, 45, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18, 2023. His killing triggered a major diplomatic crisis between India and Canada after the then Canadian government alleged possible involvement of Indian agents. India rejected the allegations. Nijjar had been designated a terrorist by India before his death.
The alleged audio presents a possible gang-related motive for the killing, but the claim remains unverified and would require independent authentication and corroboration by investigating agencies.
Earlier this year, Canadian authorities indicated that they had found no evidence linking Indian government officials to a US investigation involving Bishnoi and members of other organised crime groups. The US investigation resulted in federal indictments against dozens of alleged members of transnational criminal organisations in cases involving murder, extortion, kidnapping and drug trafficking.
