Crown did not pursue RCMP recommended charges related to an assault in March 2023
A Kelowna city councillor along with others in the community are still left with questions after learning that Crown Counsel is not pursuing charges related to an attack on an international student.
Singh said it doesn’t need to be the fullest extent of the law coming down on these young people, but bad actions should come with consequences. A friend of Gagandeep and a member of Kelowna’s Sikh community Manik Dhir said he’s dumbfounded that Crown isn’t following through with charges. “It would be the consideration of matters such as equality, substantive equality is a factor that’s relevant there. In circumstances where an offence may technically have been committed by somebody whose offending was a product of their victimization, the public interest principle might be used not to proceed. Or where there are other mitigating circumstances around the offending that means it’s not appropriate to proceed with criminal charges against that offender.
