A 50-year-old Punjabi businessman, Harjit Singh Dhadda, was shot dead outside his office in Mississauga, Canada. The incident took place near the intersection of Telford Way and Derry Road, where attackers reportedly fired around 15 rounds before fleeing the scene.
A gang has claimed responsibility for the killing, stating that Dhadda was targeted for allegedly providing a bail bond for a known pro-Khalistan separatist leader. The incident has raised serious concerns about the growing influence of international criminal networks and their links to extremist movements. Authorities continue to investigate the matter.
A nearby law firm employee reported that a stray bullet entered their office and hit an empty chair—just moments after he had stood up, narrowly avoiding injury.
Dhadda was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries.
Police spokesperson Michael Stafford confirmed that the case has been handed over to investigators and that nearby CCTV footage is being reviewed in an effort to identify the suspects.
