On May 1, 2024, reports surfaced that Brar had been shot dead in the US. The police claimed that these were all false reports and that they had been mixed up with another shooting incident.
Goldy Brar, a notorious Canadian gangster and prime suspect in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, is said to be alive, contradicting prior reports of his death. The Ministry of Home Affairs had labeled Brar a terrorist under the UAPA, linking him to Babbar Khalsa International. Brar allegedly orchestrated Moose Wala s assassination and is associated with incarcerated gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Conflicting reports emerged on his alleged death in a shootout with rival gangsters Arsh Dalla and Lakhbir, with eyewitnesses describing a chaotic scene. Brar had even mentioned targeting Bollywood star Salman Khan.
