The Delhi Police Crime Branch has arrested Bandhu Maan Singh Sekhon, who is believed to be linked to organized crime networks operating in both India and Canada, in connection with a series of shooting attacks on comedian Kapil Sharma’s Kaps Café in Surrey, British Columbia.
Investigators allege that Sekhon coordinated logistics, supplied weapons, and directed movements related to the shooters who repeatedly targeted the café earlier this year.
His arrest comes after months of cooperation between Canadian and Indian authorities investigating cross-border criminal activity connected to the Goldy Dhillon gang, a group known for extortion, targeted violence, and arms trafficking. The case advanced when Canadian investigators traced a vehicle associated with one of the shootings.
Around that time, Sekhon reportedly left Canada for India in August, shortly after the Surrey investigation intensified. Delhi Police then dismantled an arms-smuggling network whose members claimed during interrogation that they had delivered weapons to Sekhon in Ludhiana. This was the first solid indication that he was operating from India and playing a larger role than previously assumed.
Intelligence teams began tracking him across Punjab. After several days of surveillance, officers carried out a late-night raid in Ludhiana on November 25, arresting Sekhon and recovering a Chinese-made PX-3 semi-automatic pistol and eight cartridges from his vehicle. Police say he was deeply involved in the gang’s operational structure.
According to officials, Sekhon’s involvement in organized crime began after he moved to Canada on a work visa. Joint CP Crime Branch Surender Kumar said Sekhon worked various jobs before falling in with extremist circles, later serving jail time and strengthening those connections.
His criminal profile reportedly expanded during his stay in Canada, with several cases filed against him involving firearms and extortion. DCP Crime Branch Sanjeev Kumar Yadav said investigators had previously come across his name in an arms-trafficking case, and later confirmed he was a Canada-based gangster who had been arrested there for multiple shooting and extortion incidents.
A video circulating online also shows Sekhon firing several rounds from what appears to be a shotgun in a snowy region believed to be Canada.
Before joining the Goldy Dhillon network, Sekhon is said to have briefly associated with the Harry Chatha gang, whose leader is accused of working with Pakistan’s ISI and extorting members of the South Asian diaspora in North America. Police believe Sekhon’s involvement in organized crime predates his connection with the Dhillon group and developed over years abroad.
Within the Dhillon gang, he became a trusted operative responsible for coordinating vehicles, weapons, and communication across borders. Authorities also suspect he attempted to rebuild parts of the gang’s operations in India upon returning from Canada.
Police say he helped source advanced firearms, pointing to earlier seizures in Delhi that included imported pistols such as the PX-5.7 and PX-3. Arrested gang members Mandeep Singh and Dalvinder Kumar reportedly told investigators that one of the seized pistols had been supplied to Sekhon, further confirming his role in illegal arms procurement.
