Your Singhs today (Brampton edition)

Earlier this week, a prominent Brampton ON criminal defence lawyer was shot. His office was torched a day later. 

Peel Regional Police (colloquially known as "Peelers") say officers responded to a shooting call at the Sodhi Law Office on George St. N., just north of Queen St. W., around 1745 on Tuesday and found a man suffering from a gunshot wound. 

According to the coppers' statement on X, the victim, believed to be criminal defence lawyer Manbir Singh Sodhi, was rushed to hospital but his injuries were not considered life-threatening.

A quick Google search shows that Mr Sodhi is the founder of the firm (consisting apparently of only himself), which specializes in criminal, family and real estate law. The picture at right is taken from the firm's website. Mr Singh appears sans beard and turban customarily sported by Sikh men. Whether he has on his holy underwear and kirpan (dagger) is unknown.

Also unknown is what kind of criminals Mr Singh represents, but we believe that some 90% of the drawers in the Sodhi Law file cabinets are marked "S".
