Brampton Hindu Temple attack: Canadian Police arrest Khalistani protest organiser Inderjeet Gosal
Canadian Police have arrested a person on charges of being involved in the violent demonstration at a temple in Toronto's Brampton region where pro-Khalistan supporters attacked Hindu devotees last Sunday.
Peel Regional Police (PRP) identified the person as 35-year-old Inderjeet Gosal of Brampton.
"On November 8, 2024, he was arrested and charged with Assault with a Weapon," the police said in a statement.
He was released on conditions and is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date, the release said.
Police said investigators continue to analyze hundreds of videos of the incidents and are working to identify additional suspects involved in the incident.
According to media reports, Gosal is a coordinator for the Sikhs for Justice (SFJ).
The group is banned in India.
Officials told Hindustan Times that Gosal is the principal organiser of the so-called Khalistan referendum in Canada and has been charged in connection with the attack on the Hindu temple in Brampton last week.
He reportedly replaced Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar as Sikhs for Justice's main Canadian organizer.
Nijjar was gunned down in June 2023 in British Columbia.
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Monday condemned the "deliberate attack" on a Hindu temple in Canada's Brampton city.
