Satinderjeet Singh, widely known as Goldy Brar, has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list following the issuance of a federal arrest warrant in Los Angeles on July 1, 2026. The FBI is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his arrest. Brar is alleged to be the North American leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi organized crime group, facing charges of racketeering conspiracy, extortion, and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances. The allegations stem from a broader criminal enterprise that prosecutors say operates across borders, utilizing violence and intimidation to extract money from business owners and communities. Specific incidents cited include a $5 million extortion demand in Thousand Oaks, California, and the interception of a cocaine shipment in Redlands. Brar’s notoriety also stems from his alleged involvement in the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala and the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. The FBI describes Brar as armed and dangerous and an escape risk, noting his ties to Sacramento and Fresno, though his current hiding place remains unknown. This listing is part of Operation Hard Ball, a coordinated international crackdown announced in July 2026 that resulted in multiple arrests and indictments. Indian authorities have previously designated Brar as a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act and issued an Interpol Red Notice. The FBI emphasizes that the Ten Most Wanted list is an investigative tool to generate tips, not a ranking of criminal severity. Investigators urge anyone with information to contact law enforcement immediately rather than attempting to approach the suspect. The case highlights the transnational nature of modern organized crime and the ongoing efforts by US and international authorities to dismantle these networks.
