Shamsher Singh, father of fugitive accused Goldy Brar, was granted bail by an additional district and sessions court in an alleged ₹50 lakh extortion case. Shamsher and his wife, Preetpal Kaur, were arrested in January 2024 after a government teacher reported extortion threats from an international number. Shamsher, a former police assistant sub-inspector retired in 2021, remains in custody pending bail formalities. Goldy Brar, declared a terrorist under UAPA, is linked to the 2022 murder of singer Sidhu Moose Wala and reportedly issued threats after his parents' arrest.
