As head of state, I am telling you that the big gangster sitting in Canada, Goldy Brar, has been arrested in America,” Mann told a press conference in Ahmedabad, Gujarat.
“This gangster culture in Punjab will end soon. They are sitting outside (in the country) and that’s why we have to go through the channel.” We recently got Interpol through the Home Office to issue a red corner notice against Goly Brar. We have learned that he has been detained and will soon be extradited to India. He is behind major murder cases and will be given the harshest punishment under the law,” he added. In June, Interpol issued a notice against Goldy Brar, a member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, after the Punjab Police sent a request to Interpol through the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
