FBI Adds Satinderjeet Singh, Also Known as Goldy Brar, to Ten Most Wanted List With $1 Million Reward
The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation has added fugitive Satinderjeet Singh, widely known as Goldy Brar, to its Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list, sharply escalating the international hunt for the India-linked organised-crime figure. The FBI announced the move on September 28, 2026, and said it is offering a reward of up to $1 million for information leading to his arrest. Singh is the 543rd person added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list since its creation in 1950.
The FBI alleges that Singh is a North American leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group, which U.S. authorities accuse of involvement in targeted killings, shootings, murders, kidnappings, extortion, assaults and narcotics and weapons trafficking across the United States, Canada and elsewhere. The allegations are part of a federal criminal case and have not been established by a conviction.
According to the FBI, Singh faces federal charges in Los Angeles including conspiracy under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, conspiracy to interfere with commerce through extortion and conspiracy to distribute and possess controlled substances with intent to distribute. U.S. authorities say he is believed to reside in California and parts of Canada and consider him armed and dangerous.
The development comes after the U.S. Justice Department’s Operation Hardball, a years-long investigation targeting India-linked transnational organised-crime networks. On July 7, U.S. authorities announced indictments against 37 defendants connected to three such groups, with allegations involving racketeering, targeted violence, extortion and international drug trafficking. The FBI said Singh remains among the fugitives still being sought following the operation.
One of the most significant allegations in the U.S. case concerns the June 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. The FBI says its indictment alleges that Lawrence Bishnoi and Singh ordered the assassination of a prominent political and religious figure identified in court documents as “H.S.N.” Nijjar was shot outside a Sikh temple on June 18, 2023.
The Nijjar case has international significance because his killing became a major source of tension between Canada and India. The FBI’s allegations concerning Singh are part of the U.S. criminal proceedings and should be distinguished from broader political claims surrounding the case. The investigation and prosecution remain ongoing.
U.S. authorities also allege that the Bishnoi enterprise conducted large-scale cocaine thefts in the Los Angeles area. The FBI said approximately 520 kilograms, or about 1,146 pounds, of cocaine was allegedly stolen from rival drug-trafficking groups between March 2024 and July 2025.
The FBI’s latest move also deepens cooperation among American, Canadian and international law-enforcement agencies. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police said it would continue working with the FBI and other partners to locate Singh. The FBI said its Los Angeles investigation involves the FBI, Los Angeles Police Department and RCMP, with assistance from additional domestic and international agencies.
The FBI is asking anyone with information about Singh’s whereabouts to contact its toll-free tip line, a local FBI office or the nearest U.S. embassy or consulate. Tips can also be submitted online, and the bureau says information may be provided anonymously.
The addition to the Ten Most Wanted list places Singh’s photograph and identifying information into one of the FBI’s most prominent public fugitive campaigns. Authorities say the objective is to generate information that can lead investigators to him while continuing the broader effort against transnational criminal networks alleged to operate across North America and South Asia.
