Peel Regional Police are facing criticism for the blatant bias after recent arrests related to demonstrations at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton, Canada. On 8 November 2024, Peel Police released a video update announcing additional arrests and charges after incidents at the temple on November 3 and 4. However, questions have been raised over the police’s handling of the situation, with accusations that the enforcement actions disproportionately targeted Hindu individuals while overlooking alleged provocations by pro-Khalistani supporters.

According to the Peel Regional Police, tensions initially escalated during a “demonstration” at the Hindu Sabha Temple on 3 November 2024, with further confrontations occurring the following day. Officer Tyler Bell-Morena, speaking on behalf of the Peel Police, stated that the 4 November 2024 event saw “hundreds gathered, many of which were armed with weapons.” He also noted that circulating videos captured “several offences,” including an individual allegedly using a loudspeaker to incite violence against Sikh temples.

Subsequently, on 6 November 2024, police arrested 57-year-old Ranendra Lal Banerjee of Toronto, charging him with public incitement of hatred, citing Section 319(1) of the Criminal Code of Canada. Banerjee was released with conditions and is scheduled to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton.

Additionally, Peel Police issued arrest warrants for two other individuals involved in the November 4 demonstration. Twenty-four-year-old Armaan Gahlot of Kitchener and 22-year-old Arpit (no surname) of no fixed address face charges including uttering threats, conspiracy to commit assault with a weapon, and conspiracy to commit mischief.

Despite these actions, critics argue that Peel Police’s response has been one-sided, with no arrests made among pro-Khalistani demonstrators, despite allegations of violence and threats against Hindu community members. Videos shared widely on social media reportedly show individuals carrying swords and issuing threats at the November 3 event. Additionally, accusations have surfaced regarding Peel Police officers allegedly supporting pro-Khalistani demonstrators and failing to protect Hindu attendees during the clashes.

These allegations have led some to question the obvious partiality of Peel Police, – the department has targeted Hindu youth while pro-Khalistani demonstrators face no repercussions. Critics further point out that no arrests have been made following past incidents involving threats against Indian diplomats or displays of anti-India sentiment, which some view as incitement to violence.

 

 

Peel Police has formed a Strategic Investigative Team to review all criminal incidents from the November 3 and 4 events. In their statement, police reiterated their commitment to upholding peaceful protests, while firmly condemning violence, threats, and vandalism.

The blatant bias in the handling of recent events has prompted calls for accountability.
