On Monday, Sunil Yadav, a wanted drug smuggler, was killed in a shootout in Stockton, California. Yadav, who had been a notorious figure in India’s drug trade, reportedly fled to the USA after his involvement in Ankit Bhadu's encounter in Punjab was exposed. The encounter, in which Ankit Bhadu, another gangster, was killed by the Punjab Police, has been a subject of intense debate and anger within criminal circles. It was this event that allegedly led to Yadav’s assassination.
Goldy Brar Gang’s Retaliation
The Goldy Brar gang, known for its links to drug smuggling and gang violence, claimed responsibility for the shootout through a post by Rohit Godara, an alleged associate of the gang. In a Facebook post, Godara declared that both he and Goldy Brar were directly responsible for the death of Sunil Yadav. The post cited revenge as the primary motivation for the killing, stating that Yadav had been involved in the murder of Ankit Bhadu, orchestrated through his alleged ties with the Punjab Police.
According to Godara’s post, Yadav, also known as Goli, had colluded with the police to orchestrate Bhadu’s encounter, and the killing in California was an act of retribution for the death of their associate. The post detailed Yadav’s alleged role in the drug trafficking network, including his involvement in the supply of narcotics to states like Punjab, Haryana, and Rajasthan, and hinted at connections to law enforcement. Godara’s post further warned of retaliation, with a chilling message: "To all our enemies, be ready. We will find you, no matter where you are in the world."
A Deep Connection to the Indian Underworld
Sunil Yadav’s killing sheds light on the ongoing gang rivalry within India’s underworld, which continues to spill over into international territories. The Goldy Brar gang and other criminal organizations, including Rohit Godara, have maintained global networks, which allow them to operate with significant impunity, despite being pursued by law enforcement across countries.
The drug smuggling operations involving Yadav were reportedly extensive, with his involvement in cross-border narcotics trade and drug syndicates stretching across several states in India. His ties with criminal networks in Punjab and Haryana, as well as his alleged connections to corrupt law enforcement officials, have been a matter of concern for many, as they have enabled his illegal activities to continue for years.
Yadav’s Escape and Final Moments
Yadav had reportedly fled to the United States after the Ankit Bhadu encounter incident, with the Goldy Brar gang accusing him of exposing the gang’s operations and sharing “sensitive information” about the movement of the gang. This betrayal, according to the gang, was the primary reason for the attack. The killing in Stockton was seen not only as an act of revenge but also as a warning to anyone in the criminal world who might attempt to betray the gang or expose its operations.
The shootout that led to Yadav's death took place at a house located at 6706 in Stockton, California, and was carried out by individuals with direct links to the Goldy Brar gang. The brazen nature of the attack has raised concerns about the growing violence among international criminal networks and the lack of control over such underworld activities that transcend borders.
Implications for Law Enforcement
This tragic event highlights the dangerous reach of Indian criminal gangs operating abroad and the significant challenges faced by law enforcement in tracking and dismantling these international syndicates. As the US authorities investigate the shooting, they will likely work in collaboration with Indian officials to explore the connections between Yadav’s activities in both countries and his ties to the drug trade.
With such gang violence crossing borders, it is crucial for global law enforcement agencies to strengthen cooperation and curb the influence of these criminal organizations that operate across multiple nations.
