Goldy Brar allegedly claims responsibility for Nijjar killing in leaked audio
A purported leaked audio recording has surfaced in which gangster Goldy Brar allegedly claims responsibility for the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. In the recording, which reportedly features a conversation between Brar and UK-based Paramjit Singh Pamma, Brar asserts that his team carried out the assassination.
Brar provides a justification for the killing, alleging that Nijjar supported criminal networks that exploited teenagers for drug trafficking and used them as informants. He also claimed Nijjar was involved in the illegal weapons trade. Brar reportedly dismissed allegations of his own involvement in drug trafficking during the conversation.
The emergence of this audio provides a new perspective on the incident, which previously triggered a major diplomatic crisis between India and Canada after former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested Indian government involvement. While Indian intelligence sources have long suggested the killing might be linked to gang warfare and organized crime, the authenticity of this specific audio recording has not been independently verified.
Separately, the FBI has identified Brar as a wanted individual linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi organized crime group, which is currently under investigation as part of Operation Hardball, a joint law enforcement effort targeting transnational criminal syndicates.
