A man shot and killed in Winnipeg last week had been accused of extortion and sending money to gang associates in India, police reports filed in India allege. Winnipeg police are still investigating the homicide and say no arrests have been made.
Sukhdool Singh Gill appeared last week on a wanted list released via the social media platform X by India's National Investigation Agency, a specialized law enforcement agency. Gill, 39, was found dead in a northwest Winnipeg home last Wednesday, according to the Winnipeg Police Service.
"He has a network in Punjab which carries out hits for money or various other grounds," said Sahni, whose non-profit institute researches security issues in South Asia.Gill was found fatally shot last Wednesday, after Winnipeg police were called to a home on Hazelton Drive, in the city's northwest, around 10 a.m. The homicide unit is investigating and no arrests have been made, Winnipeg police said.
On Monday, a Winnipeg police forensics unit remained at the duplex on Hazelton Drive where Gill was found dead. Gill is also named in a different police allegation in India that says he threatened a doctor and demanded payment of 10 lakh rupees, which is equivalent to about $16,000 Cdn. "What this suggests to me is we need to have more constructive relationships with India on these accusations," Leuprecht said.
On Monday, officers with the forensic identification unit were at the Hazelton Drive home, which was still cordoned off with yellow police tape.
