Brampton, Canada – The Canadian Hindu community is reeling after videos surfaced showing an off-duty Peel Police Sergeant, Harinder Sohi, actively participating in a pro-Khalistani protest outside the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton. Sgt. Sohi, badge number 3071, is seen waving a Khalistani flag and joining in anti-India and anti-Hindu chants in widely circulated videos. His participation raises serious questions about the role of Canadian law enforcement in preventing—or possibly condoning—political violence.
An Unprecedented Attack on Canadian Hindu Worshippers
On November 3, 2024, a pro-Khalistani group gathered outside the Hindu Sabha Temple, ostensibly to mark the anniversary of the anti-Sikh riots in India following Indira Gandhi’s assassination. However, the demonstration soon escalated, with Khalistani supporters observably trespassing onto temple property and physically assaulting Hindu devotees who had gathered to pray.
The incident, caught on video and shared on social media, shows moments of hostility, with protesters shouting, “Who’s the terrorist?” and crowds responding with, “Indian Government.” At the same time, Sohi appeared to smile and possibly join in these chants.

As tensions rose, Hindu devotees began protesting against the anti-India slogans being chanted outside the temple. This peaceful resistance was met with physical violence as Khalistani protesters reportedly crossed onto temple grounds, directly engaging in confrontations with the worshippers.

Shockingly, Peel Police and RCMP officers reportedly targeted Hindu devotees instead of detaining the Khalistani protesters, pushing the devotees back and, in some cases, engaging in physical altercations with them.
This handling of the incident by law enforcement has raised alarm within the Hindu community, with concerns about potential bias and possible radical infiltration within Canadian police forces. This has led to calls for an internal review and increased demands for transparency regarding law enforcement’s response to such events. […]
