The FBI has added gangster Satinderjeet Singh, known as Goldy Brar, to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list and announced a USD 1 million reward for information leading to his arrest. Brar is charged with Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organisations (RICO) Conspiracy, extortion conspiracy, and drug trafficking conspiracy in a federal warrant issued by the Central District of California. The FBI describes Brar as the North American leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi Organised Crime Group, which it says has been involved in assassinations, shootings, kidnappings, and weapons trafficking. Indian government records list Brar at number 56 on its own designated terrorists list and link him to the killing of singer Sidhu Moosewala. The FBI warned that Brar should be considered armed and dangerous. He is thought to be based in the US. The Indian government maintains a separate most-wanted list of 80 designated terrorists, including Dawood Ibrahim and Masood Azhar, who are based in Pakistan.

## Indian Opinion Analysis

The FBI listing as a RICO conspiracy case frames Goldy Brar as a transnational organised crime leader, while Indian sources emphasise his links to Babbar Khalsa International and the Sidhu Moosewala murder, reflecting the domestic prosecutorial frame. The Hindustan Times listicle uses the news as a hook to re-air India's designated-terrorist roster, shifting attention to Dawood Ibrahim and Hafiz Saeed, who are not on the FBI list. The variance lies in whether the story is about US law enforcement action or India's persistent terror concerns. The Behrampore tribunal hears the appeal on 26 November.
