Goldy Brar, the main accused in the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala, has admitted in an interview that he and his group killed Moose Wala because "he made mistakes that could not be forgiven." Brar told the BBC, "It was either him or us. As simple as that. He had to face the consequences of his actions."

Brar is a close aide of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and is currently hiding in Canada. He has been declared a terrorist by the Indian government under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA). Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against him, and a non-bailable warrant is also pending.

According to the Home Ministry, Brar is part of a gang that smuggles high-grade weapons and explosives from Pakistan into India using drones. He is linked to the banned group Babbar Khalsa International and is accused of spreading violence in Punjab through targeted killings and terror activities.

Brar also claimed that Sidhu Moose Wala used to message Lawrence Bishnoi, sending “good morning” and “good night” texts. He said the conflict between them began during a kabaddi tournament in Punjab. Sidhu Moose Wala, the famous Punjabi singer, was shot dead while driving near his village in Punjab’s Mansa district in May 2022. Two cars followed his vehicle, blocked the road, and over 100 bullets were fired at him.

Goldy Brar, the man who claimed responsibility for Sidhu Moose Wala's murder, said the singer was supporting their rivals. "That village was home to our enemies, and Sidhu was promoting them. That made Lawrence [Bishnoi] and others angry. They even warned Sidhu and told him they wouldn’t spare him," Brar told the BBC. At first, things calmed down thanks to Vicky Middukhera, a close aide of Lawrence Bishnoi who tried to mediate. But in 2021, Vicky was shot dead in Mohali. After that, tensions rose again.

Brar claimed Sidhu Moose Wala was working closely with politicians and powerful people and using his influence, money, and contacts to help their enemies. "We wanted him punished through the system. He should have been jailed. But no one paid attention, not the police or the media. So we decided to act ourselves. When polite requests are ignored, only violence is heard," he said.

When asked if killing Moose Wala was justice or just revenge, Brar said he doesn’t believe in India’s legal system. “Justice only works for the powerful, not for people like us. I did what I had to do for my brother. I have no regrets,” he added.
