Wanted Canada wide is affiliated with the “BROTHERS KEEPERS” #BKGang organized crime group out of the Lower Mainland. RVMP [sic] refers to this group as the "DHALIWAL CRIME GROUP".
Edmonton Police Service Acting Inspector Dave Paton claimed that Gang Leader Dhaliwal has been orchestrating his extortion network from overseas and his whereabouts are unknown.
Today, the Canadian Broadcorping Castration reports that the elusive Sikh, accused of orchestrating a string of arsons connected to extortion cases targeting South Asian home builders in Edmonton AB, has been arrested overseas.
The Edmonton Police Service said in a news release that Maninder Singh Dhaliwal was apprehended in the United Arab Emirates on separate charges in late 2024. An application has been filed to have him extradited to Alberta.
The cops investigated 40 related incidents, with the last one — an arson — occurring on 26 July 2024. According to the news release, "This investigation has been a massive effort on the part of EPS investigators, with never-before-seen complexities involving international co-ordination. We are very pleased to see it conclude with the request for the extradition of Dhaliwal."
A Canada-wide warrant for Mr Dhaliwal was issued last July in connection with a rash of extortion incidents that destroyed new or under-construction homes and left the city's South Asian community on edge.
It's the latest in an ongoing investigation known as Project Gaslight, a probe into incidents targeting business owners in Edmonton, alleged to have been carried out by a group of local individuals under direction from India.
Police allege that Dhaliwal, 34, is responsible for orchestrating the crimes from abroad — recruiting people in Edmonton and paying them to deliver threats and light properties on fire when demands for money transfers went unmet. They were investigating 40 crimes related to the spree, including arsons, drive-by shootings and firearms incidents.
So far, the investigation to date has already resulted in a string of arrests.
Last summer, Mr Dhaliwal and six other Sikhs -- four young men, a 17-year-old boy and a 20-year-old woman -- believed to have been involved in the scheme, were arrested and charged.
A total of 54 charges were laid against them including extortion, arson, intentionally discharging a firearm, break and enter, assault with a weapon, and charges linked to committing a crime for a criminal organization.
The Canadian justice system being supremely politically correct, Mr Dhaliwal was released on bail, but failed to show up for his first court date. Quelle surprise! It was then that police suspected he might have left the country. Now -- if the lack of an extradition treaty with the UAE doesn't get in the way -- he will be back in the Great No-longer-white North, to be further dealt with by the law as the Trudeau Liberals experience it.
