Canada-based Goldy Brar of the Lawerance gang took the responsibility of Moosewala's killing
Within minutes after the sensational murder on May 29, Canada-based gangster Goldy Brar, a close aide of the gangster Lawrence Bishnoi has taken responsibility for the Sidhu Moosewala murder in Punjab.
In a Facebook post from his account, Brar took responsibility for the murder of the controversial singer.
