Organiser of Khalistani protest that attacked Hindus at Canada temple arrested

The principal organizer of the so-called Khalistan referendum in Canada has been arrested and charged in connection with the violent invasion of a Hindu temple in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) last Sunday.

In a release on Saturday, Peel Regional Police (PRP) announced that 35-year-old Inderjeet Gosal, a resident of Brampton, was arrested and charged on Friday with Assault with a Weapon.

He was released under conditions and is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date, the release stated.

Gosal was arrested on November 8, following a demonstration at the Hindu Sabha temple, where Khalistani extremists attacked Hindu-Canadian devotees.

The demonstration, which took place on The Gore Road, escalated into physical violence, with individuals using flags and sticks as weapons.

Police began investigating several offences, many captured on video, and are continuing to analyse footage to identify other suspects.
