NEW York-based Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, General Counsel to Sikhs For Justice, has posted a video on X showing a car on fire in Surrey and stating:
“The car belonging to Khalistan Referendum activist Narinder Singh Randhawa, who received an RCMP “Duty to Warn” notification and is facing death threats, was burnt.
“The “car arson terror attack” occurred after Sikhs For Justice organized the China “Annex Arunachal Pradesh” — Khalistan Freedom March from the Chinese Consulate to the Indian Consulate, where Manjinder Singh, another “Duty to Warn” target, shredded the Indian Tiranga.
“Team Shaheed Nijjar’s bus was also spray-painted with graffiti.”
Th VOICE reached out to Surrey Police Service and an SPS media officer said in an email: “We are just liaising with our investigative team. We’ll have something for you shortly.”
SPS then said in a statement that it is investigating an arson and mischief to vehicles parked outside a residence in a Surrey Central neighbourhood.
On October 28, at approximately 11:45 p.m., police responded to a vehicle fire outside a residence in the 14500-block of 91 Avenue. Upon arrival, SPS officers observed a fully engulfed passenger vehicle, that was being extinguished by Surrey Fire Service firefighters. A bus, also associated to the property, had been spray painted. It is believed that a suspect fled the area on foot after damaging the bus and setting fire to the vehicle.
Although the investigation is in the early stages, SPS Major Crime detectives are appealing for witnesses to come forward, and for CCTV and dashcam video from anyone who was in the area at the time.
If you were near 145 Street and 91 Avenue between 11 p.m. and midnight on Wednesday, October 28 and have not spoken to police, you are requested to call SPS at 604-599-0502 and quote file number 26-116977 (SP).
Currently, the motive for the arson and mischief are still under investigation, police said.
