Goldy Brar added to FBI's 'Ten Most Wanted Fugitives' list, agency announces $1 million bounty

The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) on Monday added fugitive gangster Satinderjeet Singh, widely known as Goldy Brar, to its 'Ten Most Wanted Fugitives' list. The agency also announced a bounty of up to $1 million for information leading to his arrest.

Singh is wanted for his role as the North American leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group, which has been allegedly linked to a string of violent crimes spanning the United States and Canada, according to a notice released by the FBI.

"The FBI has added Satinderjeet Singh to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives List. He is wanted for his alleged involvement in the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group, which is allegedly engaged in a variety of violent acts in Southern California and across the United States and Canada. A reward of up to USD 1,000,000 is offered for information leading to his arrest," the investigative agency said in an official statement.

The FBI further detailed that the Lawrence Bishnoi criminal syndicate has been actively involved in high-profile violent operations, including "assassinations of political and religious figures, shootings, murders, kidnappings, extortions, assaults, and the trafficking of narcotics and weapons."

According to US authorities, Goldy Brar is currently based in the US and oversees the syndicate's operations across North America.

The FBI notice mentioned that a federal arrest warrant has also been issued for Singh (Goldy Brar) by the US District Court for the Central District of California in Los Angeles, where he has been charged with Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Conspiracy, Conspiracy to Interfere and Attempted Interference with Commerce by Extortion, and Conspiracy to Distribute and Possess with Intent to Distribute Controlled Substances.

The wanted bulletin list of FBI mentions multiple aliases for the fugitive, including "Goldy Brar," Satinderjeet Singh Brar, Satinder Jeet, and Satinder Jit Singh Brar.

According to profile records released by the investigation bureau, Singh was born in Punjab and speaks both Punjabi and English. The agency noted that the fugitive maintains active networks and operational ties across Sacramento and Fresno in California, as well as Canada, India, and Mexico.

In a public advisory, the FBI warned that Satinderjeet Singh "should be considered armed and dangerous and an escape risk."
