The FBI is offering $50,000 for Satinderjeet Singh, aka Goldy Brar, charged with orchestrating the 2023 assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar as part of a cross-border organized crime crackdown.

The U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation posted a reward of up to $50,000 for information leading to the arrest of Satinderjeet Singh, known as Goldy Brar. Singh is the alleged North American leader of the Lawrence Bishnoi Organized Crime Group, the FBI said in a post on X. The group is accused of violent acts across Southern California, the United States and Canada–assassinations, shootings, drug trafficking and extortion, according to the FBI. A federal arrest warrant was issued July 1, 2026, in the Central District of California. Singh faces charges under the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, conspiracy to interfere with commerce by extortion, and conspiracy to distribute controlled substances.
The reward came hours after U.S. prosecutors charged Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar with orchestrating the June 18, 2023, assassination of Khalistani activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. Nijjar, a Canadian citizen born in India, was shot outside a Sikh temple. The killing strained Canada-India relations after then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged Indian government involvement. India denied the claim. Tensions have since eased under Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
Bishnoi and Brar are among 37 defendants charged in three federal indictments under "Operation Hard Ball," a coordinated crackdown on India-based organized crime groups. Other alleged figures include Jaggu Bhagwanpuria and Ravinder Singh Dhanda, who prosecutors say ran drug networks reaching the U.S., Canada, Europe and Australia. The operation seized cocaine and firearms, the Department of Justice said. The DOJ noted that an indictment is an allegation and all defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty.
The $50,000 reward is modest in dollar terms. It signals a deeper U.S. law enforcement commitment to pursuing a network tied to a high-profile assassination on foreign soil. An arrest or extradition request would be the next concrete step, potentially reopening diplomatic questions or triggering asset seizures. For companies with operations across India, Canada and the U.S., the longer-term risk sits in compliance costs tied to cross-border organized crime investigations, not in immediate market disruption.
