WASHINGTON: Fugitive gangster Satinderjeet Singh, alias Goldy Brar, has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, with US authorities offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his arrest.
The FBI announced Singh’s inclusion on September 28, describing him as an alleged leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi organised crime group’s North American operations. The agency said the group is allegedly involved in violent activities across the US and Canada, including targeted killings, shootings, murders, kidnappings, extortion, assaults and trafficking of narcotics and weapons.
According to the FBI, Singh is considered armed, extremely dangerous and likely to evade capture. Authorities allege that he is currently based in the US and has been helping direct the group’s activities across North America.
Singh faces multiple federal charges in the Central District of California, including conspiracy under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act, conspiracy to interfere with commerce through extortion and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances. A federal arrest warrant was issued against him on July 1, 2026.
The FBI said Singh was among fugitives identified during Operation Hardball, a years-long federal investigation into India-based transnational organised crime groups. In July, US authorities announced charges against 37 defendants linked to three such organisations, with allegations including racketeering, targeted killings, extortion and international narcotics trafficking.
Singh, who was born in Punjab, is known to speak Punjabi and English. The FBI said he has operational links and active networks in Sacramento and Fresno in California, as well as in Canada, India and Mexico.
The FBI has also alleged that Singh and Bishnoi were involved in directing the June 2023 killing of a prominent Indian political and religious figure in Surrey, British Columbia. The allegations are part of the federal indictment and have not been established as convictions against Singh.
The FBI has urged anyone with information about Singh’s whereabouts to contact its tip line or submit information online. The agency has warned the public not to approach him directly.
