Nijjar killing: Canada police aware of Goldy Brar audio, can’t confirm its authenticity

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is aware of an audio recording circulating online that purportedly involves gangster Goldy Brar claiming credit for the killing of pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This audio recording features Brar, who allegedly took credit for the murder, stating that Nijjar supported those who supplied narcotics to youth, and that Nijjar had to be killed as those individuals were using young people to sell drugs.

The RCMP has not been able to confirm the authenticity of the audio, stating they are "not in a position to confirm, deny, authenticate, or otherwise comment on the origin, content, or evidentiary value of materials that have been published or shared publicly." The murder of Nijjar has strained relations between India and Canada, with then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau stating there were "credible allegations" of a potential link between Indian agents and the murder.

Indian officials have denied these claims. The RCMP is currently leading an ongoing investigation into the murder and have not commented on specific evidence or investigative findings due to the ongoing nature of the case.
