Details of this letter were shared with our law enforcement partners engaged in combating the extortion crisis across Canada,” he added.

“I’m not in a position to comment further on any of the details contained within the letter or investigative steps taken since.”

Canadian law enforcement has been grappling with organised crime, shootings and extortion rackets targeting members of the South Asian community. There are around 3.38 million people of Indian origin or Indian citizens living in Canada, accounting for roughly 8.3 per cent of the country’s total population.

The Lawrence Bishnoi gang originated in northern India and is named after its alleged leader. Despite being jailed in India since 2015, authorities allege Lawrence Bishnoi continues to run its operations from behind bars through associates and encrypted communications.

The gang is accused of involvement in extortion, contract killings, shootings, drug and arms trafficking and intimidation of business owners and public figures. Indian security agencies have linked the group to several high-profile killings, including the 2022 murder of Punjabi singer Sidhu Moose Wala.

The detective testified that the gang extorts money by employing Indians in Canada who are paid “small” amounts to carry out targeted killings and shootings. He said the men who are hired are also seeking a sense of belonging in the community.

“I think a lot of them look at it as kind of being a part of an organisation or a group,” he said, adding that “a lot of them are being targeted at schools”.

The extortion gangs allegedly target South Asian business owners and residents, demanding large sums of money. According to the officer, those who refuse to pay face the prospect of retaliatory shootings targeting their homes and businesses.

“Every individual that we’ve identified during this investigation is a temporary foreign worker or on a student visa and relatively new to Canada,” he added.

The extortion demands were typically made over WhatsApp and often invoked the names of Lawrence Bishnoi or his former close associate Goldy Brar, the officer said.

because he can, he's a UK plant, the fact of the matter is canada's political system right now is occupied by Boomers who only care about 2 things, the retirement age not going up and "elbows up". you can see that from the recent election demographics it was even on other voting blocks but the 59+ age voted 70-30 liberal. and reasons for voting they prioritized "dealing with trump" "cost of living and healthcare" as priorities over immigration housing costs, costs, and growing economy.

They won't vote conservative because years back the last guy raised the age, even if Liberals are outright robbing the country. the only way this changes is when the boomer demographic dies of old age. Liberals now have a majority in congress because they've been outright bribing politicians to cross partylines behind doors. Canada's elections are a bigger joke then the US right now, Vote liberal or conservative, oh conservative guy won? jokes he's crossing party lines and joining the liberals and there's no new election.

Ours is too. This is in fact a generational war between the young vs the old. The old do not care about ruining the lives of the young as long as they "get theirs". That's really what "elbows up" is saying, the UK has a similar saying, "A stiff upper lip". Which is another say of saying "Stop whining, I got mine." and has been used to equally rob the futures of all its young people to ensure healthcare stays free and the retirement age stays low. Which are the only two issues in every. single. commonwealth nation right now because boomer fucks would rather nuke the entire planet than let even a single young person get to own the countries they were born into.

Instead, they're going to replace them with infinite jeets and leave behind broken, balkanized mafia states ran entirely by foreign state governments importing in their own revolutionary guard.

No you are worst, you're a fucking retard who should've been aborted

>>1517568
a smart pajeet is better then a subhuman retard like you. did you even pass highschool?
since you're so fucking stupid you don't know how to google "PUBLIC HEALTHCARE"

"Public healthcare is a medical and preventive system financed and administered by the government. It guarantees universal access to essential medical services, treatments, and hospitalization for all citizens, funded primarily through public tax revenues rather than direct out-of-pocket payments or private insurance."

ya can you fucking kill yourself now you fucking imbred. I hope your parents die in a car wreck too for raising a piece of shit like you.

>>1517576
>>1517577
You appear to be confused but allow me to break it down to a fifth grade reading level for you:
>he's advertising free healthcare come to canada
See the mistake here is that you declared, without evidence, that he was advertising free healthcare. This is what we call a “falsehood”. An easy mistake to make. So either quote the part of the advertisement that offered FREE HEALTHCARE or very kindly die for Israel the way Trump would have you, you disgusting subhuman American goyim

>>1517518
MAID

>>1517579
do you understand what the words "public healthcare" means? no you don't, you're a retard who says if someone says he'll violate you, you'll go lol he didn't say he'll rape you he said something else.
You're an uneducated loser whose better off dead. Please go ahead and keep proving your ignorance by autisticly reply. you're an absolute pampered loser whose parents are probably imbred goatfuckers.

>a smart pajeet
This is like comparing him to a unicorn.

>>1517577
>a smart pajeet
*SIGH*
Guys, and >>1517579 You're missing the forest for the trees in this whole discussion:

The Average Pajeet has an IQ of 82 with a group median of 75
https://www.riotiq.com/articles/average-iq-and-demographics/what-is-the-average-iq-in-india
https://iqtests.com/blog/iq-by-country/average-iq-in-india

This is in the bottom 20 countries on Planet Earth.

Now, this means half of all jeets coming off the boats are above it, but half of all of them are below it.

For reference, the average IQ to be declared mentally retarded in Canada is 70
https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/82-619-m/2012004/sections/sectione-eng.htm

So, this means, of all the street shitters trudging off the boats by the millions into Canada, 50% instantly qualify for free healthcare, free schooling, free disability benefits. No questions asked. Purely because they emerged off the boat from the land of retards. It doesn't matter if they get free "public healthcare" or not. They get all that and more thanks to the fact that Canada's system was never set up to deal with a population as stupid as Pajeets.

Oh but it gets better:
Part of the reason every boomer has fallen for the scam to import 70IQ idiots from the turd world that they're now on the hook to be their babysitter for eternity is because the Indian government, alongside educational institutions, has been assisting in falsifying education experience.
https://www.theaustraliatoday.com.au/one-nation-senator-links-indian-fake-degree-bust-to-australias-visa-integrity-concerns/

Here's another commonwealth nation, Australia, dealing with the mass needful hitting their nation. In this scandal: they're literally just photocopying degrees and handing them off for the price of about $500 USD.

>Cont.

>>1517583
But how bad is this photocopier degree scandal, surely it's just a few universities, right?
>How many are doing it you ask?
>Posting on X, Senator Roberts claimed Indian police had seized 100,000 forged certificates linked to 22 universities, warning that more than one million counterfeit qualifications may already be in circulation and used to secure jobs overseas.

That's 22 PUBLIC UNIVERSITIES in India. AKA It's objectively the Indian Government scamming western governments into taking their retards with the promises of being able to *eventually* replace their competent workers with their 70IQ retards.

And it gets worse:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/indias-university-system-in-deep-crisis/2012/03/20/gIQAzUOgdS_story.html
https://grokipedia.com/page/Australian_fake_Indian_degrees_scandal#ref-7

In Australia alone, that accounts for almost 30% of H1B workers just buying a $500 photocopier degree and getting instant access to white countries. No questions asked. No further tests done on their competence. It's "Papers please, ok you can have free disability because you're a 70 IQ jeet forever. Thank you". This is why Modi and co in India are bitching SO HARD about countries cutting off H1B access, Australia and Canada included.

Do people get it now? There is no 'Smart Pajeet'. If they come from the mainland, they are here to scam the local government for gibs and jobs so they can enrich the upper castes of India through taxes they send home. Our leadership are a bunch of 80 year old geriatrics who fell for the international and industrialized version of a Google Play Card scam over the phone. Only instead of maybe $5,000 in inheritance that gets flushed down the toilet, it's literally billions flushed to the gigantic country-shaped toilet who is purposefully sending saboteurs in an attempt to undermine the west's manufacturing, tech, and educational institutes.

Fuck India and fuck the H1B programs that bring them here.

All this to say: Old people who fall for telephone scams shouldn't be running governments, there should be a hard limit of 60 for holding public office and a competency test to ensure they don't do retarded shit like accept 5 million H1Bs because "hurrrr LOOK HOW CHEAP IT IS"

>>1517584
you really just pretend to be from every white country don't you

>>1517586
I'm not Indian. I'm in a white country pissed off that our ancient leadership of child-eating pedophiles instantly imported as many jeets as they could when they heard the word 'cheap'. Bypassing 80+ years of competency and education checks to ensure we didn't have 70 IQ retards building bridges and driving lorries on the interstate. btw, how has that turned out?

>>1517587

>>1517589
>average indian who gets into the country is probably smarter then that retard at least they can write their name
Ok but consider this:
Average Indians have a literacy rate of 80%, this is accounting for the fact their public schooling is way more lenient with what counts as 'literacy' than other countries are.
https://www.insightsonindia.com/2025/06/24/upsc-editorial-analysis-literacy-in-india/

I write so much about it because I am baffled that anyone still thinks of India as a peer in anything. Literal favelas in Brazil are closer to a peer to the west than the entirety of India.

The problem is the american rates are artificially bolstered in the same way, the study from 2024 54% of americas reading below an elementary literacy rate. that's despite claiming 99% of americans are literate.

https://www.reddit.com/r/NoStupidQuestions/comments/1grytlu/the_us_ranks_36th_in_literacy_this_year_how_can/

People love to shit on pajeets because there's so many of them but americans schools won't fail students in most situations and its getting worst.
