FBI issues $1M reward for man accused in Hardeep Singh Nijjar assassination

The FBI says Satinderjeet Singh led the Bishnoi group in North America and is wanted for murder, extortion and drug trafficking.

  • On July 7, 2026, the FBI added Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, to its most-wanted list for allegedly ordering the 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia.
  • U.S. prosecutors allege Singh, an India-based lieutenant for the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, arranged the 2023 murder of Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader gunned down in Surrey.
  • Singh remains a fugitive with ties to Canada, southern California, and Mexico after being named in a federal indictment filed in July. The FBI seeks information leading to his arrest.
  • Canadian national security sources and supporters of Nijjar allege the assassination was a contract hit ordered by the Indian government, though India denies any involvement in the shooting.
  • Canada officially declared the Lawrence Bishnoi gang a terrorist group in 2025, reflecting the organization's involvement in violent crimes and extortions spanning North American operations.
