Earlier this month, Goldy Brar, the alleged mastermind behind the cold-blooded murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was added to the list of top 25 most wanted criminals in Canada. Toronto-based English news channel, C24 reported that according to the BOLO (Be On The Lookout) programme website information Brar was listed as number 15 among wanted criminals by Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
Satinderjit Singh 'Goldy' Brar is accused of murder, attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, and weapons trafficking. Brar is accused of committing these crimes while being in Canada and is believed to be in Canada. He represents a risk to public safety and is currently under investigation, but is not charged with any criminal offences in Canada, according to an official release by the Canada High Commission in New Delhi.
The BOLO Program is a Canadian not-for-profit organization that amplifies police fugitive cases to increase public awareness. INTERPOL-Ottawa's Fugitive Apprehension Support Team (FAST) has added fugitive Satinderjit Singh 'Goldy' Brar as the latest addition to the Top 25 list.
"BOLO" stands for "be on the lookout," and is a common law enforcement term designating an individual who's actively wanted. According to an official statement of the Canada High Commission in New Delhi, Brar is the subject of a RCMP investigation into the allegations originating from India. The offences committed in India are very serious in nature and merit the interest of the police in Canada.
