Gangster Goldy Brar has opened up on the killing of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala, who was gunned down in broad daylight on May 29, 2022. In a conversation with BBC World Service, Goldy Brar justified the killing, saying Moose Wala had committed “unforgivable” mistakes. “In his arrogance, he [Moose Wala] made some mistakes that could not be forgiven. We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that”, Brar told the BBC.
Gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is currently behind bars, had claimed responsibility for the murder. Now, his close associate Goldy Brar has revealed some shocking details about the attack in a new documentary.
According to reports, Sidhu and Lawrence were in touch before their fallout. They began communicating in 2018 while Sidhu was in Canada. However, things changed after he returned home. His growing closeness to the Bishnoi gang’s rivals, the Bambiha gang, led to a major tiff between them. Later, a kabaddi match added fuel to the fire.
“That’s a village our rivals come from. He was promoting our rivals. That’s when Lawrence and others were upset with him. They threatened Sidhu and said they wouldn’t spare him,” Brar told BBC. The murder of Vicky Middukhera, mentor of Bishnoi and Brar, further escalated tensions between the two gangs. Caught in the crossfire was Sidhu, who was accused of being involved in the killing. Although he categorically denied any role, the Bishnoi gang sought revenge.
“Everyone knew Sidhu’s role, the police investigating knew, even the journalists who were investigating knew. Sidhu mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using his political power, money, and resources to help our rivals,” Goldy said, adding, “We wanted him to face punishment for what he’d done. He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea. “So we took it upon ourselves. When decency falls on deaf ears, it’s the gunshot that gets heard,” remarked the gangster in an audio message.
