A man charged in connection with the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia has been added to the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s most-wanted list.

Satinderjeet Singh, who is also known as Goldy Brar, was charged in July for ordering the killing of the Sikh activist outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C.

Singh is wanted for his alleged involvement in the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group, which the FBI says is allegedly engaged in a variety of violent acts in southern California and across the U.S. and Canada.

“In November 2023, Bishnoi claimed responsibility for a separate shooting that occurred at the Vancouver home of a prominent Indian actor and singer and warned in the Punjabi language in a Facebook post, “no one can save you from us.”
