Toronto : Interpol has issued a red corner notice against nine Indo-Canadians for their alleged involvement in a drug smuggling network operating out of India, according to a media report.
The notices have been issued against Ranjit Daraa Aujla, Lehmber Daleh, Parminder Singh Deo, Sarabjit Singh Sandar, Harbans Singh Sidhu, Nirankar Singh Dhillon, Gursewak Singh Dhillon, Amarjit Singh and Pardip Singh.
Aujla, former president of the BC Kabaddi Federation, said he would go to India “to fight the case”, The Vancouver Sun reported.
Aujla said he was in Punjab when Jagdish Bhola, a former cop and wrestler, was arrested, but was never questioned or taken into custody by police.
“I have learnt that there is no case against me in India,” he said.
Deo, who is retired, told the media that he had hired a lawyer in Punjab to get more information about the case. He said he hadn’t been in India in four years. “I am shocked at this news because in India, someone sitting in jail is telling stories,” Deo said.
