Major Action in Canada Over Extortion Cases Four Punjabis Deported

Vancouver/Canada:- The Canada Border Services Agency has deported four Indian youths linked to Punjab from Canada on allegations of involvement in extortion and organized criminal activities. According to the agency, Palwinder Singh, Jasmer Singh, Amitoz Bajwa and Sahibjot Singh were found inadmissible under the ‘Immigration and Refugee Protection Act’ for their links to criminal organizations and serious criminal offences. Cases involving extortion, shootings and violent incidents had been registered against all four. The action was taken following orders from the Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada.
CBSA said today that during the previous months of this year, it has deported 111 suspects involved in cases of extortion and shootings, while action against a large number of others is also continuing.
In a statement issued on Monday, agency president Erin O'Gorman said they are working to return all individuals found inadmissible under the Immigration and Refugee Protection Act. Although the agency has refrained from disclosing the nationality (citizenship) of those deported, sources said that 7 of the deported individuals were of nationalities other than Indian. The agency also said that most of these 111 individuals were residents of the provinces of British Columbia and Ontario.
The agency said that last year (i.e. 2025), 23,160 people were returned to their countries of origin, of whom 1,010 were linked to serious criminal proceedings.
They said the agency previously had 530 officers, but with the federal government increasing its budget, 1,000 more officers are being recruited. The agency admitted that the shortage of officers had allowed foreigners to operate freely in the country, but this will not be possible now.
In a statement issued by Federal Minister of Public Safety Gary Anandasangaree, it was said that the government is working seriously and diligently to eliminate extortion terrorism allegedly spread by people of South Asian origin. Without naming any country, the minister said that questioning of criminals is being used to determine whether they are acting at the direction of a major power to create an atmosphere of unrest in Canada.
