Eight Sikh youths in Brampton, Canada, have been arrested on firearm-related charges within a week. The arrests followed reports of shots fired in Brampton, a community with a significant Sikh population. The individuals, aged between 19 and 26, were found in possession of firearms, and all have been charged with “possession of loaded or prohibited or restricted firearms.” Sources suggest that the arrests may indicate Canada’s intent to address such issues. The information reportedly came from a local gurudwara, and there are indications that the individuals may be part of a drugs and illegal weapons cartel. This development occurs amid diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, with India calling for a downsizing of Canadian diplomatic missions in India.
