  "account": "A letter sent to Canadian law enforcement last year, revealed by CBC News, warned that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang had over 5,000 foot soldiers and intended to take over Canada. The letter, allegedly sent by Goldy Brar, also known as Satinderjeet Singh, stated that they had \"more guns\" than Canadian police and threatened to \"see news the next day shooting on police station.\" The gang claimed they would \"rule in CANADA now no one can stop us\" and demanded \"protection money\" from businesses, essentially imposing a \"tax\". The letter was sent to the Abbotsford Police Department in British Columbia, but the specifics of Brar's role in the Bishnoi Gang's operations in Canada remain unclear. Brar is currently wanted in India for the murder of Sidhu Moose Wala in May 2022.",
  "summary": "The existence of the letter, sent in August 2025 to the Abbotsford Police Department in British Columbia, Canada, was known, but the outlet CBC News revealed its content on Wednesday",
