The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday issued clarifications on reports regarding the Red Corner Notice (RCN) request against Goldy Brar, a gangster who claimed responsibility for the recent murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.

On Wednesday, Punjab Police said that on May 19, 2022, ten days before the murder of Sidhu Moosewala, they had already sent the proposal to the CBI to issue a Red-Corner notice against Goldy Brar, which will pave the way for his extradition to India.

CBI said that the proposal for issuance of a Red Notice against Satinderjeet Singh alias Goldy was received on May 30 at 12:25 pm from the Bureau of Investigation, Punjab Police through e-mail. In this e-mail dated May 30, a copy of a letter dated May 19 was attached. Also, a hard copy of the same proposal was received from Punjab police in International Police Cooperation Unit, CBI, New Delhi on May 30.

"After processing for confirmation of pre-requisite requirements, the Red Notice proposal was forwarded expeditiously to INTERPOL (Headquarters), Lyon on June 2," it reads.
