India declares gangster Goldy Brar, accused of planning Siddhu Moosewala's murder, as terrorist

Wanted criminal Satinderjit Singh alias Goldy Brar, the alleged mastermind in the murder of Punjabi singer Siddhu Moosewala, has been named a terrorist under the stringent anti-terror law UAPA.

Interpol has issued a Red Corner Notice against him by Interpol and there is a non-bailable warrant against him as well.

The Indian government said the move came over his involvement in the smuggling of high-grade arms, ammunition, and explosives through drones from across the border for carrying out killings in India.

In a notification, the Union Home Ministry said Brar has also been associated with the banned terrorist group Babbar Khalsa International.

He and his associates have been conspiring to disrupt peace, communal harmony, and law and order in Punjab through sabotage, the raising of terror modules, carrying out targeted killings, and other anti-national activities.

Brar, known to be a key member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, is from Sri Muktsar Sahib in Punjab and is said to be living in Canada's Brampton. He is wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) for committing crimes in various states.

Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead in his SUV near his village Moosa in Punjab's Mansa district on May 29 last year.

Goldy Brar had later admitted in a Facebook post that he had planned the murder to avenge the killing of another gangster.
