BRAMPTON, Ont. — Police have made another arrest and are seeking two other suspects following tense and sometimes violent protests at a Hindu temple in the Greater Toronto Area.
Violence erupted on Sunday at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton after a visit by Indian officials was met by protesters seeking a separate Sikh nation called Khalistan.
Peel Regional Police say several offences occurred during the demonstrations and many were captured on video, including one where someone is seen using a loudspeaker to incite violence by calling for people to storm Sikh temples. Three people were previously arrested and a Peel police officer was suspended after Sunday's events, with social media videos showing what appeared to be fist fights and people hitting each other with poles on the temple grounds.
