  "account": "Three years after the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Nijjar, fugitive gangster-turned-terrorist Goldy Brar has claimed responsibility for the murder. Brar, whose real name is Satinderjeet Singh, is alleged to have carried out the attack in June 2023 for the alleged drug activities of Nijjar. Speaking to Khalistani terrorist Paramjit Singh Pamma in an audio clip, Brar stated that Nijjar had supported and strengthened individuals who groomed and incited young people into drug sales and informants. \"Everyone has to face the consequences of their actions,\" Brar said. This comes just a month after the FBI offered a reward up to $50,000 for information leading to Brar's arrest, as he is wanted for his ties to the Lawrence Bishnoi organised crime group. Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, was killed outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia on June 18, 2023. The killing sparked a diplomatic dispute between India and Canada, with Trudeau claiming there was credible evidence linking Indian government officials to the incident. However, India denied any involvement. Brar, who previously lived in Canada on a student visa, is wanted in India for various crimes, including the murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala in May 2022. The US has charged both Bishnoi and Brar in connection with the Nijjar killing.",
