Third held in Indo-Canadian businessman's daylight murder
Toronto: A third person has been arrested by law enforcement in connection with the daylight murder of an Indo-Canadian businessman in May this year. 22-year-old Shaheel was identified as the person arrested for the murder of an Indo-Canadian businessman, in Mississauga, in May (Peel Regional Police) In a statement, on Thursday, Peel Regional Police (PRP) announced that, with the assistance of Delta Police, 22-year-old Shaheel was arrested in Surrey, British Columbia on July 15. The accused is a resident of the town of Delta. He was brought back to Ontario and charged with first degree murder. That charge is related to the killing of 51-year-old Harjeet Dhadda, a resident of Brampton, in the parking lot in the neighbouring township of Mississauga just before noon on May 14. He was taken to a local hospital but succumbed to the injuries sustained. The suspects fled in a stolen 2018 Black Dodge Challenger, which was recovered shortly following the incident. At the time of the murder, police believed it was 'a targeted shooting.' On May 28, police arrested two 21-year-olds in connection with Dhadda's murder. They were identified only as Aman Aman and Digvijay Digvijay. After an intensive investigation, PRP said, the two suspects were identified and tracked to the town of Delta. PRP, with assistance from officers with the Delta Police Department, Abbotsford Police, Surrey Police and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, located and arrested the two men. The accused appeared before a Justice in Surrey, BC, before being turned over to homicide detectives to be transported back to Ontario, assisted by the BC Sheriff Service. They also face first-degree murder charges. 'This latest arrest reinforces our commitment to holding those responsible for targeting our community accountable, no matter where they are. We are grateful for the continued support of our policing partners in British Columbia, whose collaboration was vital in bringing another accused into custody,' PRP's Deputy Chief Nick Milinovich said. The local network Omni reported at the time that Dhadda was targeted for extortion but had refused to pay up. His daughter Gurleen Dhadda told the channel, 'They asked for $500,000 from my dad, but my dad denied it. My dad said he's not going to pay a single penny because he works for it.' According to local media reports, Dhadda was shot six times. In a social media post, his son Tanveer Singh Dhadda said, 'My father did not deserve this. He was not involved in anything criminal. He lived an honest life. Yet, those who came to harm him were armed with illegal weapons, operating with complete disregard for the law and seemingly without fear of consequences.'

'Your System Is Infected': ED Busts Fake Call Centres In Chandigarh That Duped Foreign Nationals
Fake call centres and shell companies posed as global tech troubleshooters of companies like Microsoft, duping unsuspecting American and Canadian citizens with precision. Each time a foreign national dialed for tech assistance, the meter started ticking – 450 to 500 dollars siphoned off in the name of 'support." The Enforcement Directorate (ED) has unearthed a slick, sophisticated transnational scam that was running out of Chandigarh's Tricity, where a nexus of fake call centres and shell companies posed as global tech troubleshooters of companies like Microsoft and others, duping unsuspecting American and Canadian citizens with precision. Fronted by companies like FSAL Technologies Pvt Ltd, the syndicate baited victims through fake pop-up alerts like – 'Your system is infected," 'Call Microsoft Support Now". The pop-ups would only route them to Indian call centres posing as Microsoft, HP, or router support desks. Every call ended with a demand of 450 to 500 dollars for fixing a problem that did not exist. Victims paid, believing they were speaking to genuine tech agents. The money was routed via fake overseas firms like Bios Tech USA, controlled remotely by FSAL's director Faisal Rashid Peerzada, said a senior ED official Following raids across such illegal call centres, ED found no licenses, no agreements, and no real tech capacity. Just a set of trained fraudsters, and websites linked to spoofed domains like which is a knockoff of Geek Squad USA. The call centre staff, far from being software experts, lacked even basic BPO credentials, ED said in a statement. The operation was cloaked in layers. Locals like Faisal and others floated shell firms in the names of relatives and friends to obscure ownership. In one case, Bios Tech was run by a close associate Arshdeep, but all backend control, payment gateway access, and operations were handled directly from India. Another arm of the scam involved Sahu Jain, whose companies Terrasparq and Visionaire falsely claimed affiliation with CTS Mobility, a US-based firm supposedly owned by his sister Priya Jain. These entities also promised high-end services like device management and cybersecurity. In reality, they existed only to collect fraudulent payments, often recharging victims' cards repeatedly without consent, added the ED statement. Their websites projected glossy IT parks and professional setups. The ED found none of it existed as they used fake office photos, fake team bios, and fake promises of 24×7 support. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

NHL, NHLPA clash over 'eligibility' of five acquitted Canadian players in sexual assault case
A dispute has erupted between the NHL and the NHL Players' Association ( NHLPA ) over the eligibility of five Canadian players acquitted in a high-profile sexual assault case. Michael McLeod , Carter Hart , Dillon Dubé , Cal Foote , and Alex Formenton were found not guilty of sexual assault, Ontario Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia ruled on Thursday. Additionally, McLeod was acquitted of a secondary charge of being a party to the offense.

The NHLPA has strongly opposed the decision, arguing that it undermines due process and the legal outcome. READ ALSO - Hockey Canada Sexual Assault Case: A recap of events The clash has sparked intense debate over player rights, league accountability, and public perception. As tensions rise, the future of the players' careers and the league's handling of such cases remains uncertain. Live Events The NHL described the allegations in the case as 'very disturbing' regardless of the court's ruling. "The allegations made in this case, even if not determined to have been criminal, were very disturbing and the behavior at issue was unacceptable," the NHL said in a statement, according to The Athletic, on Thursday. "We will be reviewing and considering the judge's findings. While we conduct that analysis and determine next steps, the players charged in this case are ineligible to play in the league." The NHLPA stated that declaring the players ineligible while the NHL continues its evaluation of the case violates the terms outlined in their collective bargaining agreement. "Dillon Dube, Cal Foote, Alex Formenton, Carter Hart, and Michael McLeod were acquitted of all charges by Justice Carroccia of the Ontario Superior Court," the NHLPA's statement read. "After missing more than a full season of their respective NHL careers, they should now have the opportunity to return to work. The NHL's declaration that the Players are 'ineligible' to play pending its further analysis of the Court's findings is inconsistent with the discipline procedures set forth in the CBA. "We are addressing this dispute with the League and will have no further comment at this time," the statement further said. All five players were in London, Ontario, in June 2018 for a Hockey Canada gala honoring their gold medal win at the World Junior Hockey Championship. They were later charged by police with sexually assaulting a woman in a hotel room. However, Justice Carroccia dismissed the charges, stating in her ruling that she did not find the complainant's evidence to be 'credible or reliable'. At the time of their arrests in 2024, McLeod, Hart, Dubé, and Foote were active NHL players, having been granted leave from their respective teams just days earlier. Formenton, a draft pick of the Ottawa Senators, had not played in the NHL since 2022.
