You'll see their bearded pusses again in this photo lineup of 17 miscreants.
They are: Iqbal Singh Bhagria, 25, of Brampton, Akashdeep Singh, 24, of Norval, Ravinder Singh, 25, of Surrey, BC, Jashanbir Singh, 21, of Surrey, BC, Dilawarpreet Singh, 26, of Brampton, Mandeep Singh, 21, of Brampton, Prabhdeep Sohal, 22, of Brampton, Partapbir Ghuman, 22, of Brampton, Ajaydeep Singh, 29, of Brampton, Navroop Singh, 24, of Brampton, Rajan Singh, 28, of Barrie, Amritjot Singh, 22, of Brampton, Jashanpreet Singh, 22, of Brampton, Guneet Guneet, 27, of Brampton,Sukhwinder Singh, 32, of Brampton, Mohinder Singh, 30, of Brampton and Gautam Gautam, 22, of Manteca, California. [How did that last one get in there? Ed.]
Apart from their beards, what do you suppose these 17 men have in common?.....I'm sure you're way ahead of us on this one but here's the answer. They are all Sikhs and all are originally from south Asia, or India, to be precise. [What happened to diversity being Canada's strength? Ed.]
Not much, and all accused by Peel Regional Police of being involved in the extortion of innocent business people -- mostly compatriots and co-religionists -- for cash as part of a "pay up or you pay the price" criminal enterprise.
In recent months 324 gunshots were fired into two dozen Peel residences or businesses. The 17 men just arrested face 106 criminal charges over 24 incidents, of which16 are linked to the "For Brothers" network. The charges include arson and multiple shootings, conspiracy, obstruction of justice, breaches of court orders, and drug-related offences. Police also seized six firearms, illicit drugs, cellphones, SIM cards and fraudulent IDs.
Inspector Singh (no relation) of the Peel police told the meeja "The organized criminal network is allegedly responsible for a series of targeted attacks against the Region of Peel's South Asian community. They are believed to have been active in Brampton, Mississauga, Caledon, and British Columbia, with links to California." Sources say one of those charged -- Sukwinder Singh -- is also wanted in India for an attempted murder.
Only two (count `em -- 2 out of 17) of the alleged perps are permanent residents of Canada. The others range from visitors to "temporary" workers.* Some are said to have already been kicked out of Canuckistan and many will also face deportation hearings.
Brampton mayor Patrick Singh Brown commented, "Talk about a complete failure of border security when you have 17 (alleged) foreign criminals terrifying a community and committing violent acts. All should be deported yesterday. There is no way this should be allowed to happen." Duh, eh.
Of course a hearing doesn't guarantee deportation. A Sikh student of the notorious Singh School of Truck Driving who took out most of a Saaskatchewan hockey team in a horrific crash some years ago is still in Canada, pleading to be allowed to remain "on humanitarian grouns". And, as reported in WWW passim, Sikh criminals have become adept in claiming asylum, saying their lives would be in danger if they were returned to the "Khalistan" which they love so dearly.
* Footnote: Tim Hortons, the iconic Canadian coffee 'n' donuts chain, today announced that it would be ending its use of the "temporary" foreign worker scheme, saying it was "no longer necessary."
