Jashandeep Singh, an Indian man linked to rackets and shootings in Canada, has made some shocking revelations after his friend Arshdeep Singh was deported to India for direct involvement in criminal activity in Ontario, Alberta and British Columbia. Jashandeep told his immigration hearing that he had no connection to the gang, that he didn’t even know his college friend Arshdeep was, and that his only mistake was that he never asked his friend why he had a gun – because Jashandeep believed it was a toy gun and even posed with it.“It was my fault. Why didn’t I ask them?” Singh testified through a Punjabi interpreter. “At the time, I had no idea that if I had a gun, they would link me to extortion.”The Canadian government also wanted to deport Jashandeep, but he argued that he came to Canada as a student in 2022 and was currently waiting for a graduate work permit.Jaishandeep Singh is currently living with his sister and brother-in-law while awaiting a decision on whether he can stay in Canada. He said he was too ashamed to look his family in the eye.“My parents borrowed money to send me here,” he said, “so that I could create a good future for myself. They had a lot of hopes and dreams for me.”Although Jaishandeep pleaded not guilty, he admitted that he took Ashdeep’s car to the location where Ashdeep fired multiple shots into the air. Jashandeep said Ashdeep called him the night before and asked him if he could spend the night at Jashandeep’s home in Edmonton because it was his birthday the next day.Jaishandeep said he shared the house with seven to eight other men. “Ashdeep had a bag. He took out a gun from the bag and showed it to us. I don’t know if it was a licensed gun or an unregistered gun,” Jashandeep Singh testified. “When I picked it up, I just held it and my other friend who lived in the house with me, I started joking with him. I just jokingly put it on his head while we were watching the movie.”
Lawrence Bishnoi organization directly threatens Canadian police
During the deportation hearing, investigator Kevin St. Louis said they received a letter last year directly from Lawrence Bishnoy’s gang, in which Bishnoy said he had 1,000 foot soldiers in Canada willing to carry out shootings. The letter also stated that every business must pay a “tax” to the Bishnoi gang.
