Gurleen Dhadda, the daughter of Brampton-based Harjeet Singh Dhadda, issued a statement after her father was shot several times at a parking lot in Mississauga, Ontario, in what the police called a ‘targeted’ shooting.Following the shooting, Dhadda was taken to a hospital where he died. Gurleen said his father was a proud Canadian resident since 1997 and worked hard to build a life in Canada, where he had to die — despite clear signs of danger.Gurleen said her father was receiving repeated threats and extortion calls and there was a possible attack in 2023. All of this was reported to the police but there was no help. “We begged for protection. But our cries for help went unanswered. The system that was supposed to keep us safe failed him,” she wrote. Blaming the government for failing to curb extortion and targeted violence, Gurleen wrote that the community is outraged. “Why are innocent people left defenceless while the threats grow louder? When the authorities fail to protect us, what options do we have?” the statement read.
Harjeet Dhadda, who is he? What caused his death?
The 51-year-old insurance agent and business was shot on Wednesday after being approached by defendants outside the parking lot at noon. When police arrived, they claimed to have discovered Dhadda with “obvious indications of trauma.” The guns fled the scene in a recovered dark 2018 Dodge Challenger. The Lawrence Bishnoi group claimed responsibility for Dhadda’s crime in a previous Pas article. According to them, Dhadda provided parole to Khalistan Tiger Force commander Arsh Dalla.
My parents, according to my child, was never involved in any criminal activity.
Tanveer Singh Dhadda, Dhadda’s brother, claimed Tanveer Singh Dhadda’s parents had no criminal history. This was not what my parents should have. He had no unlawful activity. He lived a good living. However, those who attempted to harm him were armed with unlawful weapons and “operated with total disregard for the law and presumably without fear of outcomes,” he claimed.
