Rapper Badshah's Chandigarh club attack: Accused arrested, Delhi Police finds gangster connection; who is Goldy Brar?
The resident of Faridkot, Punjab, was in constant touch with gangster Goldie Brar, Delhi Police said.
On November 26, 2024, two low-intensity blasts shook Chandigarh's Sector 26. The first occurred around 3.15 AM outside Seville, a club owned by rapper Badshah.
Two unidentified men on a motorcycle allegedly detonated an explosive device near the entrance, shattering glass windows. Minutes later, a similar explosion happened outside De'Orra Club, also damaging its glass windows. No injuries were reported.
Police began investigating both incidents and collecting evidence from the sites. Authorities checked CCTV footage to identify the culprits. During the initial investigation, it was suspected to be an act of intimidation, allegedly done for extortion purposes.
'We received information in the control room that someone here had a personal issue. When the investigating officer arrived at the spot, he found broken glass. The case is still at a preliminary stage, and the forensic team is collecting evidence. We received the complaint at 3:25 AM,' Deputy Superintendent of Police Dilbagh Singh Dhaliwal told reporters at that time.
Goldy Brar is a Canada-based gangster. He was born Satinderjeet Singh in 1994 in Punjab's Muktsar district. He moved to Canada in 2017 on a student visa and now operates the Lawrence Bishnoi gang from abroad.
Wanted in India for murder, drug trafficking and extortion, he is accused of masterminding Sidhu Moose Wala's 2022 killing. Declared a terrorist under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA), Brar is linked to Babbar Khalsa International and several high-profile crimes.

'Digital arrest': Punjab police bust Rs 92 crore-nationwide racket; 6 arrested, 2 on the run
Punjab police bust Rs 92 crore 'digital arrest' scam (Image credits: ANI) NEW DELHI: Punjab Police have busted a nationwide Rs 92-crore 'digital arrest' racket, exposing two organised gangs running elaborate cyber-enabled financial frauds. The breakthrough came after coordinated raids across Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Gujarat, which led to the identification of ten suspects. Six have been arrested, two are already in jail and will be brought on production warrants, while two remain on the run. In a press release, police said the gangs posed as senior police officers, CBI officials, or other law-enforcement authorities over the phone. Victims were falsely accused in fabricated criminal cases and threatened with a so-called 'digital arrest' unless they transferred large sums of money. The scam spanned several states, including a Rs 3-crore fraud targeting residents of SAS Nagar. The case stems from two FIRs lodged at the SAS Nagar Cyber Crime Police Station, Phase-7. Investigators have frozen or closed 310 bank accounts linked to the racket and connected the suspects to a Rs 12.5-crore fraud case registered in Bengaluru under Sections 318(4) and 319(2) of the BNS, and Sections 66(C) and 66(D) of the IT Act. Over the past four months, SAS Nagar Cyber Crime Police have dismantled six illegal call centres, arrested 41 people- including seven foreign nationals- and seized laptops, mobile phones, SIM cards, ATM cards, and multiple bank accounts. They have also cracked a honey-trap case, arrested the mastermind of a fake Railway job racket that duped 25 people, refunded Rs 4.12 crore to victims, and blocked scams worth Rs 2 crore through timely alerts to banks. SSP Harmandeep Singh Hans said the operation was more than just making arrests — it showcased Punjab Police's strong commitment to protecting citizens from cybercrime. He added that their efforts will continue to target such networks, recover stolen money, and ensure every offender is brought to justice.
