Who are Goldy Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi?
Goldy Brar, whose real name is Satinder Singh, is a Canada-based gangster and is wanted in many criminal cases by the Indian authorities.
Earlier this month, a Faridpur court had issued a non-bailable arrest warrant against Brar for killing the district Youth Congress president, Gurlal Singh Pehalwan.
On May 1, Punjab Police Anti-Gangster Task Force (AGTF) arrested three close aides of jailed gangster Lawrence Bishnoi and Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, from Bathinda.
The close aides of Goldy Brar were planning to attack a well-known businessman of the Malwa region to extort money from him.
According to local media reports in Punjab, these criminals, on orders from Brar provided hideouts to absconding gangsters of the NCR region.
Sidhu Moose Wala—a victim of gang rivalry
According to local media reports, the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala was revenge for the killing of Akali Dal leader Vicky Middukhera in Sector 70 Mohali on August 8 last year.
Vicky was allegedly an informer of the Bishnoi gang and was on the radar of other gangsters.
Shaganpreet Singh, the manager of Sidhu Moose Walaa, was named as an accused in the murder of Middukhera. He is absconding and the police have issued a lookout notice for him.
