U.S. Authorities Seek Public Help to Capture Goldy Barad, $1 Million Offer

Federal officials have appealed to the public for actionable intelligence on Goldy Barad, a Pakistani‑origin gangster linked to the Lawrence Bischnoi group. The FBI has placed a $1 million bounty on information that results in his apprehension. Barad is accused of orchestrating violent crimes such as murder‑for‑hire, extortion schemes, and drug distribution, but remains at large pending trial. The agency warns that the suspect is armed and extremely dangerous, operating out of California and parts of Canada. The announcement follows the earlier Operation Hardball case, which led to the arrest of 24 suspects and the discovery of one deceased participant.
