# FBI offers $1 million for information on Nijjar assassination suspect

*Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, added to the FBI's most-wanted list.*

**Scores for the source reporting** (0-100, assessing the original journalism this article was written from, not this write-up): 

- Trust 42 of 100, higher is better. Central claim attributed to named FBI official; two independent outlets published full reports.
- Craft 57 of 100, higher is better. Two full reports provided detail, but most outlets used digests with limited information.
- Hype 20 of 100, lower is better. Headlines and content are factual and directly state the news without exaggeration.

**The short version**

- The FBI is offering a US$1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar.
- Satinderjeet Singh is accused of orchestrating the June 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia.
- Singh has been added to the FBI's most-wanted fugitive list.
- The Canadian government designated the Bishnoi enterprise as a terrorist entity in September 2025.

The FBI has placed Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, on its most-wanted fugitive list and is offering a reward of US$1 million for information leading to his arrest. Singh is accused of orchestrating the June 2023 assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. Patrick Grandy, assistant director in charge of the FBI's Los Angeles Field Office, stated that Singh is considered extremely violent and a public enemy.

U.S. prosecutors charged Brar in July in connection with Nijjar's killing. Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader, was shot and killed in the car park of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara. The Canadian government designated the Bishnoi enterprise, an organisation linked to Brar, as a terrorist entity in September 2025. Brar is described as the North American leader of this enterprise and is believed to be armed and dangerous.

## Disagreement on charges

While CBC News reports that U.S. prosecutors charged Brar in July in the killing of Nijjar, CTV News states that Brar was charged back in July for the 2023 assassination. The Globe & Mail reports that Indian gangster Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, was named in a U.S. federal indictment in July.

## What the coverage left out

No right-rated reports mentioned the FBI's offer of a US$1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, nor his addition to the FBI's most-wanted list.

## How the sides framed it

### Left

- Sixteen left-rated reports led with the FBI adding Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, to its most-wanted list in connection with the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. These reports stated the FBI is offering a US$1 million reward for information leading to his arrest. They also noted that Singh is accused of orchestrating the June 2023 assassination of Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia. The Canadian government's designation of the Bishnoi enterprise as a terrorist entity in September 2025 was mentioned in some reports. Patrick Grandy, FBI assistant director in charge of the Los Angeles Field Office, was quoted as saying Singh is considered extremely violent and armed and dangerous.

### Centre

- Ten centre-rated reports focused on the FBI and RCMP offering a US$1 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Satinderjeet Singh, also known as Goldy Brar, in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. These reports highlighted that Singh has been charged for the 2023 assassination and added to the FBI's list of 10 most wanted fugitives. The Canadian government's designation of the Bishnoi enterprise as a terrorist entity in September 2025 was also noted. Patrick Grandy, assistant director in charge with the FBI in Los Angeles, was cited as stating Singh should be considered armed and dangerous.

### Right

No separate framing summary.

**Provisional coverage gap:** right. The watch is not closed, so this is not yet a settled blindspot finding.
