A purported audio recording has surfaced in which Canada-based gangster Satinderjeet Singh, alias Goldy Brar, claims that he and his team were responsible for the 2023 assassination of pro-Khalistan terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia.
The leaked conversation, reportedly between Brar and UK-based pro-Khalistan activist Paramjit Singh Pamma, reframes the high-profile killing—which triggered an international diplomatic fallout—as an organized crime hit over drug trade rivalries.
Key Claims Made in the Audio Tape
In the leaked recording, Brar alleges that Nijjar was targeted due to his involvement in exploiting youth for drug trafficking operations:
-
Drug Network Allegations: Brar claims Nijjar supported and protected individuals who coerced 16-to-17-year-olds into selling drugs and acting as informants.
-
Direct Admission: “That’s why we, my team and I, had to kill Nijjar, because these people were using young people to sell drugs. Everyone has to face the consequences of their actions,” Brar is heard stating.
-
Ties to Gang Rivalry: Intelligence sources and investigative details link the admission to ongoing rivalries involving the Lawrence Bishnoi syndicate and allied transnational criminal networks operating across North America.
Shift in Diplomatic & Investigative Findings
The emergence of the audio clip comes shortly after major updates from Canadian law enforcement regarding the June 2023 killing:
| Timeline / Aspect | Details & Findings |
| Initial Allegations (2023) | Then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused Indian government agents of involvement, leading to severe diplomatic strain and mutual diplomat expulsions. |
| RCMP Clarification | The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) stated that organized crime investigations revealed no evidence linking Indian government officials to the assassination. |
| U.S. FBI Warrant | The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) issued a $50,000 bounty for Goldy Brar under Operation Hardball, citing racketeering, extortion, and targeted violence across North America. |
Current Status
While security agencies have noted that the voice in the audio matches Brar’s profile, law enforcement agencies in both India and North America continue to review the recording as part of ongoing transnational gang investigations.
