Sidhu Moosewala – a name that revolutionized the Punjabi music industry for good. The singer, actor, and politician was highly loved for his unfiltered lyrics and catchy music. Everyone around him, including his loved ones, fans, and industry colleagues, always felt he had a long way to go. Least did anyone know that his rising popularity would make him prey to a fatal fate. And now, a statement, rather a cold confession from his alleged murderer has come out, where in Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar justified killing Sidhu Moosewala by claiming, “he had to face the consequences of his actions.”June 11, 2025, on the occasion of Sidhu Moosewala’s birth anniversary, BBC released the much-awaited documentary on the singer. There were several confessions, truths, and more about Sidhu and the Punjabi music industry. According to the documentary, Sidhu Bishnoi and Lawrence Bishnoi shared a bond that dated back a long time. Reportedly, Lawrence used to call Sidhu from jail, telling him he liked his music.
Gold Brar’s confession on Sidhu Moosewala’s murder
“In his arrogance, he (Moosewala) made some mistakes that could not be forgiven,” Brar told the BBC, before continuing, “We had no option but to kill him. He had to face the consequences of his actions. It was either him or us. As simple as that.”
What led to the rivalry between Sidhu Moosewala and the Bishnoi gang?
Things took an ugly turn between Moosewala and the Bishnoi when Sidhu promoted a tournament organised by the Bambiha gang, the rival of Lawrence’s gang. “That’s a village our rivals come from. He was promoting our rivals. That’s when Lawrence and others were upset with him. They threatened Sidhu and said they wouldn’t spare him,” Brar said.Later, the dispute was resolved by Vicky Middukhera, who was associated with the Bishnoi gang. However, in 2021, when Vicky was gunned down in Mohali, the Bishnoi gang’s relationship with Sidhu got strained. Reportedly, the rival gang, Bambiha, took responsibility for killing Middukhera. The police also named Moosewala’s friend and sometime manager, Shaganpreet Singh, on the charge sheet. He was a subject of the investigation and was being investigated for providing information and logistical support to the gunmen who put down Vicky. Shaganpreet then fled India and has reportedly been in Australia. Amid all this, Sidhu Moosewala denied any involvement, and even the Punjab police confirmed to BBC that nothing linked the singer to the killing of Vicky.However, Brar had a different take on the whole matter. Accusing Moosewala, he said, “Everyone knew Sidhu’s role, the police investigating knew, even the journalists who were investigating knew. Sidhu mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using political power, money, and his resources to help our rivals. We wanted him to face punishment for what he’d done. He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea.”
“When decency falls on deaf ears, it’s the gunshot that gets heard”
Brar continued, “So we took it upon ourselves. When decency falls on deaf ears, it’s the gunshot that gets heard. Law. Justice. There’s no such thing,” he says. “Only the powerful can… (obtain) justice, not ordinary people like us,” he mentioned.
