Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, was added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list over allegations tied to the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey.
The Story
A man charged in connection with the 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia has been added to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list, federal authorities said on Sept. 28, 2026. The FBI identified the suspect as Satinderjeet Singh, who is also known as Goldy Brar.
Singh was charged in July with ordering the killing of Nijjar outside a temple in Surrey, B.C. The FBI’s announcement places the case within a broader cross-border investigation, stating that Singh is based in the United States while also allegedly spending time in Western Canada.
The FBI said it is offering a reward of up to US$1 million for information leading to Singh’s capture. The reward underscores the agency’s focus on locating and arresting the person it says is behind the alleged assassination order.
In its statement, the FBI alleged that Singh is part of the Bishnoi enterprise and that he allegedly served as its North American leader. The allegations extend beyond the Nijjar case, with the FBI characterizing Singh’s role as part of a network responsible for multiple high-profile criminal activities.
RCMP Deputy Commissioner of Federal Policing Lisa Moreland said Singh and his network have inflicted “devastating havoc on countless lives” through high-profile murders, death threats, extortion and drug trafficking. Her remarks link the Nijjar-related charges to a wider picture of organized violence and alleged criminal networks described by Canadian and U.S. authorities.
Authorities said Singh is believed to be connected to a network that operates across borders, and they have repeatedly emphasized that violent crime tied to the Bishnoi enterprise has had consequences in both the United States and Canada. The addition to the FBI’s Ten Most Wanted list is intended to increase public and investigative pressure to locate the accused person.
The Surrey killing at the centre of the charges occurred outside a temple, and the case has drawn significant attention in Canada because Nijjar was a prominent public figure among the Sikh community. The charged allegations, combined with the FBI’s public listing and reward, make the next steps—arrest and prosecution—depend heavily on tips and coordinated efforts from investigators.
For people in B.C. and across Canada, the most practical implication of the FBI’s action is that information about Singh’s whereabouts can be critical to the timeline of his capture. The FBI’s public reward program is designed to encourage individuals with knowledge of potential locations, travel patterns or contacts to come forward with information that can be used by investigators.
