An Ontario family is living in fear after being targeted in two separate drive-by shootings at their homes in Caledon. The brothers, who run a local business, report receiving demands for $2 million from individuals claiming to be part of the Bishnoi Gang.
This escalating violence follows the Canadian government’s September 2025 decision to officially list the Bishnoi Gang as a terrorist organization. Federal authorities and the RCMP have alleged that the gang operates as a proxy for Indian government agents to conduct assassinations and extortions on Canadian soil—claims India has denied.
Key Developments:
-
The Listing: Under the Criminal Code, the gang is now a designated terrorist entity, allowing for asset seizures.
-
Extortion Crisis: Task forces in Ontario and B.C. are investigating hundreds of similar threats against South Asian business owners.
-
Diplomatic Fallout: The allegations have led to the expulsion of top diplomats and a severe fracture in Canada-India relations.
