A gangster who claims to have orchestrated the murder of famous Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala has finally spoken out, calling the killing an act of revenge and stating that he feels “no remorse whatsoever.”

Goldy Brar, who is internationally wanted and listed by Interpol, shared voice notes with the BBC, explaining why he ordered the killing. This is the first time he has publicly shared his motive in detail.

“In his arrogance, he [Moose Wala] made some mistakes that could not be forgiven,” Brar said.
“We had no option but to kill him. It was either him or us. As simple as that.”

Sidhu Moose Wala, whose real name was Shubhdeep Singh Sidhu, was only 28 years old when he was shot dead in Punjab’s Mansa district in broad daylight on May 29, 2022. His car was surrounded by six gunmen who fired 24 bullets at him, according to the post-mortem report.

Brar had claimed responsibility just hours after the murder but had never explained his motive until now.

Brar and fellow gangster Lawrence Bishnoi are believed to be the main planners behind the killing.

Brar said the motive was revenge for the 2021 murder of Vicky Middukhera, a close friend of Bishnoi. He claimed that Sidhu Moose Wala used his political connections to protect the people involved in that murder.

Moose Wala’s manager, Shaganpreet Singh, was named by police in the case, accused of helping the shooters. He later fled to Australia. Moose Wala, however, denied being involved.

“We wanted him to face punishment for what he’d done. He had to face the consequences of his actions,” Brar said.

“He should have been booked. He should have been jailed. But nobody listened to our plea. So we took it upon ourselves,” he added.

Brar also accused Moose Wala of supporting their rival gang, the Bambiha gang, by promoting one of their kabaddi matches, further fuelling tensions with Bishnoi and his allies.

“He was promoting our rivals. That’s when Lawrence and others were upset with him,” Brar told the BBC.

He added that even though there was no solid evidence connecting Sidhu to any crime, he believed the singer was working with their enemies.

“Everyone knew Sidhu’s role; the police investigating knew, and even the journalists who were investigating knew. Sidhu mixed with politicians and people in power. He was using political power, money, and his resources to help our rivals,” Brar said.

The interview also revealed that Moose Wala and Bishnoi had been in contact since 2018.

Celebrity couple Asim Azhar and Merub Ali have officially ended their relationship after nearly three years of engagement. Asim confirmed the news in a message shared on his Instagram Stories early Thursday morning.

“Salam everyone, we hope this message finds you well,” he began. “We wanted to take a moment to share something personal, as we believe we owe that to those who have supported us: fans, friends, and well-wishers.”

He continued, “After a great deal of thought and reflection, Merub and I have decided to go our separate ways. This decision has been made peacefully and with mutual understanding.”

The singer added that while they shared many meaningful moments and had hoped for a future together, sometimes life takes a different path. He also mentioned that both he and Merub continue to hold deep respect for each other and for their families.

Requesting privacy, Asim concluded, “We kindly ask for your understanding and privacy during this time and hope this is met with the same grace with which it is being shared. Thank you for your continued support.”

Actress Merub Ali has not yet made any public comment on the matter. However, fans have noticed that the two have unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Asim Azhar and Merub Ali, who have known each other since childhood, announced their engagement in 2022. They also appeared together in ARY Digital’s hit drama Sinf-e-Aahan and frequently made headlines for their close bond and public appearances.

A clip from the Eid-ul-Adha special of Hasna Mana Hai, in which two Rangers officials performed the title track of the popular drama Ishq Murshid, is making rounds on social media.

The two-part show hosted by Tabish Hashmi and featuring Pakistan Army and Rangers personnel included candid conversations, funny stories, and a special musical performance that became the highlight of the night.

Studio audiences cheered the performance, and online users were equally impressed, showering the clip with praise.

But the music wasn’t the only thing grabbing attention. Throughout the show, officers from various ranks opened up about life in uniform, often with a humorous twist.

One captain shared a hilarious story about the moment he was promoted: “Whenever an official is given the rank of captain in the army, he is usually made fun of,” he laughed.

Recalling his own experience, he said, “When I was about to become a captain, my entire unit teamed up to prank me. They took away my mobile phone and falsely accused me of breaking military rules.”

“I was locked in a room for two days and even shown fake letters from Army Headquarters saying I would be arrested,” he added.

Another officer described how military life has its own unique way of celebrating special occasions: “Whether it’s a wedding, birthday, or someone having a baby, we all dance together, and sometimes even end up fighting in the middle of the celebration,” he said, jokingly.

A short clip of host Tabish Hashmi also made waves online, where he playfully remarked: “I’m with the army today but the good news is, I’m here by my own free will.”
