   Gangster Goldy Brar Claims Responsibility for Hardeep Nijjar Killing

   Fugitive gangster Goldy Brar allegedly admitted to orchestrating the June 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. In leaked audio addressed to Paramjit Singh Pamma, Brar attributes the murder to Nijjar's alleged involvement in drug trafficking and the grooming of youth for drug networks. Intelligence sources reportedly confirmed Brar's voice, and a joint US-Canada law enforcement effort called Operation Hardball has indicted Brar and Lawrence Bishnoi in the case. Former Indian diplomat Sanjay Verma suggests the audio vindicates India by framing the death as a gang rivalry rather than state action.

   Why it matters

   Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey on June 18, 2023. The incident previously strained relations between India and Canada, with diplomats declared persona non grata under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. Current ties are reportedly improving under Mark Carney.
