Canada has deported three foreign nationals linked to gang-led extortion rackets targeting the Indian community. The move comes after a surge in attacks on Indian-owned businesses and homes in areas like British Columbia and Brampton. The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) connected these individuals to gangs such as those of Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar.
The attacks include shootings aimed at intimidating the Indian diaspora. Authorities describe these rackets as part of organized crime involving violence for extortion. So far, 78 other suspects have been identified for investigation.
This incident raises concerns about the safety of the Indian community in Canada, particularly in cities like Brampton with large Indian populations. CBSA stated that deportation efforts will be intensified to curb such crimes.
