Your Singhs today (Brampton edition)

Brampton ON is a Sikh community... or a sick community, depending on your point of view. But if you're a gambler, you can bet with confidence that any news report about criminal activity in the former Flower Town of Canada will involve a Sikh, whose middle or last name (because of their religion) will be "Singh".

We have for some time now posted stories about brown crimes and misdemeanors involving graduates of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving -- enter "Singh" in the search box at upper right" for a long list -- and others of that ilk. 

But not all the miscreants are drug smugglers. Some are persons of high standing in the Sikh society, such as Members of Parliament, municipal councillors, and even lawyers, like the one named in this report from CTV News. 

Clients lose $3 million after Brampton lawyer fraudulently uses his trust account  

Police are asking the public for information after receiving several complaints over the past two months about a Brampton lawyer who is allegedly fraudulently using his trust account. 

Investigators from Peel Regional Police’s Fraud Bureau say to date, the complainants have been financially impacted in an amount totaling more than $3 million dollars. A criminal investigation was launched into the allegations against Mr. Pawanjeet Mann, of PJ Mann Law at 214-5 Brisdale Dr. 

As per the Law Society of Ontario, Mann’s licence to practice law has been revoked.

But (Walt hears you say), they don't say the crooked lawyer is a Singh or a Sikh! And there's no photo. Of course not! The lickspittle media carefully avoid revealing anything that would throw fuel on the firest of anti-south-Asian sentiment burning brightly in the Toronto and Vancouver areas, and indeed right across Canada from sea to shining sea.

But our Ed. has done the due diligence and come up with this listing on Lawyer.com for Pawanjeet Singh Mann, of PJ Mann Law Professional Corporation. Unfortunately asearch for that name, in its entirey, turned up so many photos of turban-wearing Pawanjeet Singhs that we are unable to tell which is the one who allegedly pocked millions of his clients' Canadian dollars (about $2.15 million in real money).

Anyone who can shed further light on this story of discreditable conduct and abuse of trust is urged to contact Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Peel Region police Fraud Bureau at 905-453-3311, ext. 3335, or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
