Canada Orders Deportation of Man Linked to AP Dhillon House Shooting
Canadian authorities have ordered the deportation of Abhijeet Kingra, an Indian national and alleged member of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, following his involvement in a September 2024 shooting and arson attack at Punjabi singer AP Dhillon's residence in British Columbia. Kingra, who arrived in Canada on a student visa in 2018, denies gang membership, claiming he was paid CAD 4,000 to participate without knowing the gang's involvement. The Immigration and Refugee Board cited evidence linking Kingra to the gang, which is associated with organized crime including murder, extortion, and violence. Kingra is serving a six-year sentence and may appeal the deportation. Canadian authorities continue a broader crackdown on gang-related crimes nationwide.
