US-based gangster Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy Brar has claimed in a leaked audio recording that he orchestrated the June 2023 killing of Khalistani extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, according to an audio released on social media. Brar is heard telling Sikh-separatist Paramjit Singh Pamma that Nijjar was targeted because he promoted drug trafficking and drug abuse among young people. "That's why me and my team had to kill Nijjar," Brar says. Intelligence sources have confirmed the voice is Brar's.
The alleged admission comes as US, Canadian and European agencies have arrested 24 people under Operation Hard Ball targeting transnational crime. The US Department of Justice has charged Brar and jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi in Nijjar's killing. The RCMP's deputy commissioner Lisa Moreland told CBS News there is "no evidence to suggest through this organised crime investigation that Indian officials were charged or involved," contradicting former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's allegation linking Indian agents to the murder. India had rejected Trudeau's charge. The FBI has offered a $50,000 reward for Brar's arrest.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both Deccan Chronicle and Deccan Herald report the same leaked audio and the same US-Canada operation. The Chronicle leads with Brar's own incriminating words and the disputed India-Canada diplomatic context, giving more weight to Trudeau's since-rebuked allegation. The Herald leads with the audio detail alongside the RCMP's explicit denial of Indian government involvement, and gives more space to the US indictment structure. Neither source advocates a position, both report facts. The measured read: the audio is unverified, the narrative that gang rivalry, not state action, drove the killing is now the dominant official account in North America, and the US has placed a bounty on Brar. Watch whether Canadian courts act on the US extradition request for Brar's associates.
