Gangster Goldy Brar, who escalated his operations after the killing of singer-rapper Sidhu Moose Wala, now opened up on the 2024 shooting incident outside AP Dhillon’s Canada residence. He justified the gunshots fired outside the singer’s house to create fear. The Lawrence Bishnoi gang member emphasised that he has to feed thousands of people.
Brar, who became famous for his criminal activities after Moose Wala murder, benefitted from the high-profile case, according to investigative journalist Ishleen Kaur who made aBBC documentary ‘The Killing Call’, on Moose Wala’s life.
She said, “Before Sidhu’s murder, a lot of people had never even heard of Lawrence Bishnoi or Goldy Brar but after they killed Sidhu, everyone knew about them. Everyone had heard of them.”
“They took Sidhu’s fame and, in an instant, transformed it into their own notoriety, and it was that notoriety that made it a lot easier for them to extort money,” Ishleen added.
Brar, when asked whether gunshots were fired outside Dhillon’s residence to create dominance in the Punjabi music industry, admitted that their intention was only to conduct extortion calls. He said, “To feed a family of four, a man has to struggle all his life.”
Brar further said, “We have to look after hundreds or even thousands of people who are like family to us. We have to extort people. To get money, we have to be feared.”
The shooting happened outside the Punjabi singer’s Vancouver house in September 2024. Two vehicles were also set ablaze at the crime scene.
In November 2024, a 25-year-old accused named Abjeet Kingra was arrested in connection to the case. The other shooter is still absconding.
Moose Waala’s family had objected to the release of the two-part documentary about their son. While the court is scheduled to hear the petition filed by the late singer’s father on June 12, BBC went ahead to release the documentary.
‘The Killing Call’ is available for streaming on BBC’s YouTube channel.
