The FBI has added Satinderjeet Singh, alias Goldy Brar, to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, offering a $1 million reward for information leading to his arrest. Singh, believed to be in his early 30s, is accused of leading the North American branch of the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group, which authorities allege is responsible for a range of violent crimes across the U.S. and Canada.
FBI alleges Brar’s role in targeted assassinations, drug trafficking, and extortion
The FBI announced the addition on Monday, stating Singh is considered ‘extremely violent, armed, and dangerous.’ Authorities claim he is the North American leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, which is accused of engaging in assassinations, shootings, murders, kidnappings, extortions, assaults, and trafficking of narcotics and weapons.
According to the FBI, Singh is wanted in connection with the June 18, 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. The bureau also alleges the group has stolen over 1,000 pounds of cocaine in the Greater Los Angeles area between March 2024 and July 2025 from rival gangs.
Federal charges and international reach
A Federal Court in Los Angeles issued an arrest warrant against Singh on July 2025, charging him with Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) conspiracy, conspiracy to interfere with commerce by extortion, and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances. The FBI states Singh is known to reside in California but has ties to Canada, India, and Mexico.
Public urged to avoid contact, report tips anonymously
The FBI has warned the public to avoid interaction with Singh and instead contact law enforcement. Tips can be submitted anonymously via the FBI’s toll-free line (1-800-CALL-FBI) or online at tips.fbi.gov. The bureau guarantees confidentiality for those providing information.
Background: Who is Goldy Brar?
Satinderjeet Singh, known as Goldy Brar, is a Punjab, India-born national who allegedly entered Canada on a student visa before establishing himself in criminal networks. U.S. and Canadian authorities describe him as a trusted lieutenant to Lawrence Bishnoi, a prominent Indian gangster with an international criminal enterprise.
The Lawrence Bishnoi group has been linked to multiple high-profile crimes, including political and religious figure assassinations, drug trafficking, and violent confrontations with rival gangs. Singh’s inclusion on the FBI’s most-wanted list underscores growing concerns about transnational organized crime with operations spanning North America.
Legal and enforcement responses
U.S. officials have framed Singh’s addition to the list as part of a broader effort to combat transnational criminal organizations. First Assistant U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli stated that the move ‘underscores this administration’s determination to bring the full force of the law upon transnational criminal gangs.’ The FBI’s Los Angeles Field Office has prioritized his apprehension, with Assistant Director Patrick Grandy calling Singh a ‘dangerous individual.’
