Police have charged another person following a series of recent violent demonstrations in Peel Region.
Peel Regional Police officers are standing outside of the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton on Sunday, Nov. 3, 2024.
In a Nov. 9 news release, Peel Regional Police said they’re investigating a number of offences that happened at that Nov. 3 demonstration, many of which were caught on video and involved people using flags and sticks to assault others. Another similar demonstration took place the following day, on Nov. 4, outside the same mandir, as tensions are high between members of the Hindu and Sikh communities, following what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau described as “credible allegations” that the Indian government was connected to the assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia last year.
The force has since formed a strategic investigative team dedicated to probing the recent “incidents of criminality” at demonstrations in the region.Arrest warrants have also been issued for 24-year-old Armaan Gahlot, of Kitchener, and 22-year-old Arpit , of no fixed address, for uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm, conspiracy to commit assault with a weapon, and conspiracy to commit mischief. Police are urging them to get a lawyer and turn themselves in to authorities.
