The two were married in June 2023 in Ahmedabad after a brief courtship arranged by their families. Before the marriage, the woman's parents had given the would-be groom Rs 51,000 as a traditional custom. After marriage, when the couple was on a trip abroad, the man allegedly consumed liquor regularly, verbally abused the complainant and even clicked inappropriate photos during private moments. Upon returning to India, they lived with her parents for a day before the man returned to Canada, promising to process her spousal visa, the complaint states.
The woman stated in her complaint that she later found out that her husband had not only failed to submit her visa documents but had also demanded Rs 50 lakh from her parents, claiming that the dowry was insufficient. He allegedly pressured her to send inappropriate photos and threatened divorce if she refused. He then blocked her number and sent a WhatsApp message announcing separation. The woman alleges that her husband was in a relationship with a woman in Canada, whom he married and has a tattoo of her name.
She claims his entire family was aware of his first wedding before their marriage. She also learned that her name was listed as non-accompanying in her husband's Canadian immigration records.
She has demanded legal action against her husband and mother-in-law for harassment, misrepresentation, and violation of marriage promises.

Kanishka bombing: Canada police identifies 'Mr. X'; refuses to disclose his identity

Representational Image The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) have finally identified "Mr X" - a hitherto unknown person who helped test a bomb a few weeks before the deadly June 1985 mid-air bombing of the Kanishka, an Air India flight which took off from Canada's Montreal and was bound for Mumbai. Also Read: Indian-Canadian groups urge Kanishka memorial to honour 1985 Air India bombing victims However, the RCMP refused to disclose the individual's identity citing "privacy laws." "The previously unidentified suspect in the mass murder case recently died without ever facing charges," Vancouver Sun quoted RCMP assistant commissioner David Teboul as saying. "The name cannot be released due to privacy laws even though the he man is dead," he added. Teboul made the remarks ahead of the 40th anniversary (June 23) of the bombing by Khalistani terrorists, which killed all 329 (307 passengers and 22 crew members) on board the flight (AI 182). He was speaking in Ireland, where he is member of a Canadian delegation for the 40th anniversary ceremony. AI 182 was flying towards London for a stopover in the British capital when the bomb exploded and the remnants of the aircraft fell into a sea off the coast of Ireland. How was ' Mr. X ' identified? According to Teboul, despite the acquittals of two key suspects in 2005, investigators continued to work on the file 'to tie up some loose ends," and this led them to uncover the identity of Mr X. On June 4, 1985, he travelled to Duncan, British Columbia, with terror plot mastermind Talwinder Singh Parmar. The two then joined up with electrician Inderjit Singh Reyat. The group then went into the woods and tested a bomb, unaware that they were being followed by agents from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service. The agents heard the explosion but mistook it as a gunshot. Also Read: Canadian govt had whiff of 1985 Air India bombing plot that killed 329, says report While Parmar, the Babbar Khalsa International founder, was killed in a police encounter in Punjab in 1992, Reyat pleaded guilty to assisting Mr X and Parmar in developing the Air India bomb. However, he later testified that he didn't know the name of Mr. X.

Shots fired at Nijjar-linked business in Canada; cousin blames Bishnoi gang

Toronto: A business owned by a cousin of murdered pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar was fired upon in the early hours of Thursday, the latest in a series of such incidents targeting prominent Indo-Canadian businessmen in the area. A business owned by a cousin of murdered pro-Khalistan figure Hardeep Singh Nijjar was fired upon in the early hours of Thursday, the latest in a series of such incidents targeting prominent Indo-Canadian businessmen in the area. Multiple shots were fired on the premises of Nijjar Trucking owned by Raghbir Singh Nijjar at around 3am on Thursday. The outlet Red FM reported that on June 18, there was an attempt to set vehicles afire at the same business. It cited Nijjar as alleging that the Lawrence Bishnoi gang was behind the attack as part of an extortion attempt. His residence had been similarly targeted in August 2024. Nijjar also said that criminal gangs were using international students for these violent acts. While he is related to Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was killed on June 18, 2023, in Surrey, British Columbia, a person familiar with them said they had not been close. This incident followed the murder of another businessman Satwinder Sharma on June 11 in neighbouring Abbotsford. Sharma, 56, was shot while at his business location. The case is being handled by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team or IHIT which said, 'Early indications suggest this was a targeted incident and no one else was injured as a result of the shooting. Investigators are working diligently to determine the motive and the circumstances surrounding the homicide.' Another repeat victim is Satish Kumar, president of the Lakshmi Narayan Mandir in Surrey. On June 7, Reflections Banquet Hall, which he owns, was shot at. Early on Saturday, another business, Satish Accounting Services, was similarly targeted. Kumar told the outlet Vancouver Sun, 'My life is on the line. My family's life is on the line.' In December 2023, the residence where his son and family live in was fired upon. British Columbia Premier (equivalent of an Indian chief minister) David Eby has called upon the Federal Government to designate such violent criminal groups as terrorist organisations. In a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney on Wednesday, he wrote, 'On February 15, 2025, the Government of Canada announced the listing of seven transnational criminal groups as terrorist entities under the Criminal Code. British Columbia believes that this legal instrument should be applied to groups, such as the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, engaged in extortion and violent crimes in multiple Canadian provinces. This is a complex and nationally impactful criminal issue deserving of a national criminal law response to investigate and prosecute those participating in, promoting and/or facilitating these crimes.'
