Punjab Police arrested Shamsher Singh and Pritpal Kaur, parents of fugitive terrorist Goldy Brar, in a 2024 Muktsar extortion case. The arrest forms part of a crackdown on gangsters and terrorists. Goldy, a prime accused in Sidhu Moosewala’s 2022 murder, is a designated terrorist suspected to be in Canada or the US since 2017.
Punjab police have arrested the parents of foreign-based fugitive terrorist Satinderjit Singh alias Goldy Brar in an extortion case registered in Muktsar district two years ago.
Goldy, a designated terrorist, is also a wanted absconder and one of the prime accused in the 2022 murder case of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala.
The arrest in the case registered in 2024 came during the ongoing crackdown against gangsters and terrorists and their networks on Monday. According to police, Goldy’s father Shamsher Singh and mother Pritpal Kaur, natives of Faridkot district, were caught from a hotel in Amritsar on Monday and taken on a day’s police remand. The police presented them before court on Tuesday which granted police three more days’ remand.
