Canadian police release Khalistani activist Inderjeet Gosal soon after arrest in Brampton temple attack case

Canada's Peel Regional Police have made a fifth arrest in connection to the Brampton temple attack case that took place on November 3.

The arrested individual goes by the name Inderjeet Gosal. He is reportedly 'the coordinator for SFJ in Canada'. SFJ or Sikhs for Justice is a terrorist organisation which seeks to carve out Khalistan from Indian territory.

However, as per a police statement, he was released later on certain conditions and will "appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date."

A picture of his has gone viral on social media where he can be seen carrying a Khalistani flag and standing on the Indian tricolour at an event:

Protestors carrying Khalistani flags clashed with devotees at a Hindu Sabha temple and disrupted an event co-organised by the temple authorities and the Indian Consulate on November 3 at Brampton, a city in Ontario's Greater Toronto Area.

In connection to Gosal's arrest, the police statement said, "One of the individuals has since been identified as 35-year-old Inderjeet Gosal of Brampton. On November 8, 2024, he was arrested and charged with Assault with a Weapon. He was released on conditions and is to appear at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton at a later date."

The statement also said, "A Strategic Investigative Team dedicated to investigating incidents of criminality during the November 3 and 4 incidents has since been formed. We would like to remind the public that complex investigations such as these take time and that individuals are arrested as they are identified and in no specific order."
