Gangster Goldy Brar Issues Global Warning to Punjab Government After Parents' Arrest
In a dramatic escalation of tensions between law enforcement and organized crime networks, a chilling audio message purportedly from foreign-based gangster Satinderjeet Singh, popularly known as Goldy Brar, has surfaced just two days after Punjab Police arrested his parents in connection with a December 2024 extortion case. The audio, which emerged on Wednesday, contains explicit threats against police officers and political leadership, marking a significant development in the state government's ongoing crackdown on gangsters.
Direct Threats and Global Reach Claims
In the purported recording, Brar delivers a stern warning to the Punjab government, stating emphatically: "I want to say this to the Punjab government, if you have courage, you should do the right thing and take me head-on." The gangster directly addresses the recent arrest of his elderly parents from Harmandir Sahib in Amritsar, where they had gone for religious observance, questioning the authorities' tactics: "What do you think, that you will scare us? No, we are not afraid like this."
The audio contains particularly alarming threats about retaliatory violence, with Brar asserting: "We can get 1 man killed every day." He further emphasizes his organization's international reach compared to the government's jurisdictional limitations: "You are limited only up to Punjab; we are spread across the whole world." The gangster claims detailed knowledge about the whereabouts of relatives and children of political leaders and police officers settled abroad, suggesting this information could be used for targeting.
Historical References and Justification
Brar's message includes historical references to Harjinder Singh Jinda and Sukhdev Singh Sukha, the assassins of retired Chief of Army Staff General AS Vaidya, who led the Army during Operation Bluestar in 1984. He describes how ordinary college students transformed into what he calls martyrs when confronted with systemic excesses, drawing parallels to justify potential actions against current authorities.
The gangster attempts to rationalize previous murders committed at his behest, stating: "I never got any person murdered for nothing; I settled old enmities openly." He warns against creating lifelong enmities through what he perceives as unjust actions against family members, while simultaneously threatening disproportionate retaliation: "If you do injustice, then we will also do injustice. If we come to doing injustice, we can get 1 man killed every day—don't keep an illusion in your mind."
Police Response and Analysis
A senior Punjab Police officer, speaking anonymously to media outlets, acknowledged the audio's potential authenticity while condemning its content. "There is a high possibility that the audio is of Goldy Brar only, unless it is AI-generated," the officer stated, adding a pointed rebuke: "If he is so concerned about his mother and father, he should introspect whether his parents are really proud of him."
The officer emphasized fundamental principles of justice and civilization, stating: "There is nothing to boast or be proud of in being a killer or murderer. A murdered person cannot have a reason to justify killing. Two wrongs do not make a right." Rejecting any justification for violence, the officer affirmed: "There is a system; there may be flaws, but that does not justify killing in a civilised society. It is not jungle raj."
Expressing confidence in eventual justice, the officer concluded: "Sooner or later, justice will be served to him. A crime is a crime. Nothing lasts forever." This response underscores the police department's determination to continue their crackdown despite the threatening messages from fugitive gangsters operating from foreign soil.
Context of Ongoing Crackdown
The audio emergence follows intensified efforts by Punjab Police against organized crime networks, with the arrest of Brar's parents representing a significant development in this campaign. The December 2024 extortion case for which they were detained forms part of broader investigations into gangster activities that have plagued the state.
Brar's reference to previous incorrect claims about his capture highlights the challenges authorities face in apprehending foreign-based criminals who utilize international networks and digital communication to evade justice while continuing their operations. The gangster's explicit threats against police and political figures represent an attempt to intimidate law enforcement and potentially influence judicial processes through fear tactics.
This development occurs against the backdrop of Punjab's ongoing struggle with organized crime, where gangsters often operate from foreign countries while maintaining networks within the state. The government's crackdown aims to dismantle these networks through coordinated police action, legal proceedings, and international cooperation, though challenges remain in addressing threats from abroad.
