Your Sikhs today: "King Singh" to stay in USA another 20 years

Meet Guramrit Singh Sidhu, a Brampton ON man [You were expecting maybe St-Louis-du-Haha? Ed.] and a Sikh. When we last reported on Mr Sidhu (WWW 27/3/26) was known as "the chitta king". In the Punjabi dialect, that means "drug king". 

Sadly (for him), Mr Sidhu has been dethroned, after being sentenced in the US of A to 20 years in the hoosegow. He pled guilty to leading a criminal organization that trafficked drugs worth up to $17 million ($12 million in real money) from the into Canuckistan over a period of just one month, via Diversity Truck Lines.

The 63-year-old Sikh who would be king thumbed his nose at Canadian authorities, but was the lead defendant in an American federal indictment targeting a drug trafficking group. He was the seventh defendant to plead guilty. Others had been sentenced to federal prison terms ranging from more than two years to nine years. 

Mr Sidhu was arrested in January of 2024 and was extradited to the US of A months later. His plea agreement states that King Singh orchestrated the distribution of eight separate drug loads, including 523 kilograms of methamphetamine and 347 kilograms of cocaine from 13 September 2022 to 24 October 2022. 

According to the the US District Attorney's office, "After buying the bulk quantities of cocaine and methamphetamine in the USA, Sidhu arranged for the narcotics transportation into Canada via long-haul semi-trucks [driven by graduates of the Singh School of Truck Driving, no doubt. Ed.] for further distribution.

"Sidhu provided telephone numbers and serial numbers on bills of currency for couriers to use as a ‘token’ for identification purposes during the delivery and transportation of the cocaine and methamphetamine."

The DA's office said Mr Sidhu and his co-conspirators then retrieved the drugs from locations within Canada for further distribution. 

Mr Sidhu should count himself lucky that the judge could consider only the one month of criminal acivity. According to American investigators, his drug trafficking organization operated between September of 2020 and February of 2023.

King Singh will be back on the streets in two years or less. Whether he will be deported to Canada or his native "Khalistan" is unclear, but until then he have to mastermind his business from accommodation provided by American taxpayers.
