In a recent television interview, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar made alarming statements, vowing to kill Bollywood actor Salman Khan unless he apologizes for the 1998 incident in which a blackbuck, considered sacred by the Bishnoi community, was killed.
Goldy Brar further admitted to the murder of singer Sidhu Moose Wala. Amidst these threats, it has been reported that Goldy Brar has fled Canada.
Salman Khan has been receiving multiple threat calls and letters in recent months, prompting increased security measures by the Mumbai Police outside the actor's residence.
Goldy Brar, in an exclusive interview with India Today, declared that eliminating Salman Khan is his life's goal.
"Bhai saheb (Lawrence Bishnoi) had stated that he wouldn't apologise. Baba will show mercy only when he feels merciful", Goldy told India Today.
"Like we have said earlier, it's not just about Salman Khan. We will continue our attempts against all our enemies as long as we're alive. Salman Khan is our target, there's no doubt about that. We'll keep trying, and when we succeed, you'll know," Goldy Brar said.
Furthermore, Goldy Brar revealed that the killing of Sidhu Moose Wala was intended as a lesson, citing Sidhu's arrogance and misuse of political and financial influence as the reasons behind his action.
"Sidhu Moose Wala was an egoistic person. He misused his political and money power. It was necessary to teach him a lesson, and he was taught one," Goldy Brar said.
As reported by the Indian Express, Lawrence Bishnoi who is in jail in Bathinda told investigators that politicians and businessmen pay him a fee for threats so that they can ask the police for extra cover.
Lawrence Bishnoi had previously confessed to the National Investigation Agency (NIA) that Salman Khan was one of his primary targets.
"I know whatever is going to happen will happen no matter what you do. I believe that (points upwards, referring to God) that he is there. It is not that I will start roaming freely, it is not like that. Now there are so many Sheras around me. So many guns are going around with me that I am scared these days," Salman Khan said in April after receiving a threat call.
Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala was shot dead on May 29 last year in his village Moosa. Rapper Honey Singh also received a death threat voice note from Goldy leading Honey to lodge a complaint with the Delhi police headquarters.
