Gangster Goldy Brar Allegedly Admits Killing Hardeep Nijjar in Leaked Audio

Gangster Goldy Brar Allegedly Admits Killing Hardeep Nijjar in Leaked AudioPreviousNext

Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar has allegedly admitted in a leaked audio recording to orchestrating the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. Brar claimed the killing was retaliation against Nijjar's support for drug networks exploiting teenagers. The case has sparked diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, with former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleging Indian government involvement, which India denies. US authorities have charged Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi in connection with the killing, while Canadian investigations continue without evidence linking Indian officials.
