On April 3, Jaskaran Singh, a 21-year-old man, was arrested by Calgary police in connection with a series of extortion-related shootings that occurred on February 22 and March 4. He faces charges for discharging a firearm with intent. This arrest follows that of another Indian-origin suspect, Karanbir Singh, who was apprehended in Edmonton and also charged with a similar offense. Authorities have issued a warrant for a third suspect, Germanjeet Singh, who is still at large. The Calgary Police Service has reported a concerning trend, with 41 extortion attempts recorded since January 2025, including 17 shootings targeting homes and businesses. The Canada Border Service Agency has stated its commitment to removing individuals who misuse the immigration system and pose risks to community safety. Officials emphasize that organized crime networks involved in extortion do not confine themselves to one area, prompting a collaborative response from law enforcement agencies across Alberta.
