'Either him or us': Brar on Moosewala murder
Hindustan Times Bengaluru
|June 12, 2025
Three years after popular Punjabi rapper Sidhu Moosewala was gunned down in broad daylight, the man accused of orchestrating the killing, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, has openly admitted to murdering the singer in a controversial documentary aired on Wednesday.
CHANDIGARH/BATHINDA:
Brar said that Moosewala, who had joined the Congress before he was killed in a dramatic shootout in 2022, allegedly first came in contact with gangster Lawrence Bishnoi years before but the relationship soured over a village kabaddi match where Moosewala allegedly supported a rival team.
"Moosewala's actions had left him and his associates no choice. He (Moosewala) crossed lines which he shouldn't have. We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that," said Brar, who is on the run and is believed to be in Canada.
