Canada Businessman & Kabaddi Player Killed, AAP Leader Targeted

In Canada, Darshan Singh Sahsi, a 68-year-old businessman and philanthropist, who hailed from Panjab’s Ludhiana district, was shot dead near his home in Abbotsford, British Columbia on 27 Oct. Darshan ran Canam Group—a successful cloth and textile recycling business. Hours later, a social media post surfaced from an account linked to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, claiming responsibility for the attack. The post by Gurpreet Singh alias Goldy Dhillon, a known associate of the Bishnoi syndicate, accused Sahasi of being involved in the drug trade and claimed the gang had demanded money from him. When he 'refused to pay and blocked our number,' the post said, 'we took revenge.' Sahsi’s son Arpan Sahsi denied the claims made in the unverified social media post. He also denied his father receiving any 'extortion or threat calls.' Meanwhile, Lakhvinder Kumar, a key associate of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was arrested in the US on 27 Oct after the Federal Bureau of Investigation detained him and deported him to New Delhi. Also, the Rajasthan Police Anti-Gangster Task Force detained Jagdeep Singh alias Jagga, an active member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang currently associated with the Rohit Godara gang in the US. Meanwhile, retired Chandigarh police Deputy Superintendent of Police Dilsher Singh shot an Aam Aadmi Party leader Nitin Nada on 29 Oct at a private function in Agampur village, Anandpur Sahib district. Nanda had earlier been a Shiv Sena leader from Rupnagar. Rupnagar Senior Superintendent of Police Gulneet Singh Khurana said Dilsher had a longstanding enmity with Nitin over a 20-acre property. Dilsher has been arrested. Nitin is in hospital but stable. Concurrently, a 25-year-old kabaddi player, Tejpal Singh, was shot dead in Jagraon, Ludhiana district. Tejpal had come to Jagraon for personal reasons and was walking with two friends on Hari Singh Hospital Road when a group of five to six men intercepted them. The assailants first beat him brutally, and during the scuffle, one of them pulled out a revolver and shot him in the chest (earlier coverage).
