FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the above post and found it to be misleading.
We initiated our investigation by searching Goldy Brar on Facebook which led to multiple profiles by this name. We then matched the profile picture in the viral screenshot and found the profile from which the above picture (with Bhagwant Mann) was posted.
While scanning the profile, we came across a video by the same man himself in which he clarified that his picture with CM Mann is being misused and is being shared with false claims.
Speaking in Punjabi, he said, “I am Goldy Brar, son Rajinder Singh resident of village Jandwala. After the tragic incident of Sidhu Musewala’s murder, my picture with CM Bhagwant Mann is being misused by social media just becasue my name is Goldy Brar.”
Hence, with the finds, it can be concluded that the man with Bhagwant Mann is not the Goldy Brar who took the responsibility for Sidhu Moose Wala’s murder.
