A report from Global News is throwing some serious shadows across Canadian law enforcement, claiming a letter allegedly tied to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang ended up at a police station in Abbotsford, British Columbia, last year. It was a warning. A big one.
The letter reportedly warned authorities that this group had a massive network of armed people involved in extortion-related violence stretching across the whole country.
This stuff came to light during a deportation hearing before the Immigration and Refugee Board. That’s where things got specific.
Constable Kevin St Louis, an extortion investigator, testified about what was inside that alleged communication. He said the letter, which arrived on August 13, 2025, laid out the whole structure of the criminal organization.
It claimed they had upwards of one thousand individuals ready to carry out shootings linked to these extortion activities.
Investigators interpreted some parts of it, too. It mentioned businesses needing to pay their "tax." That was how they saw the extortion payments.
The Abbotsford Police Department confirmed they did receive the letter.
Sergeant Paul Walker, who was quoted, said details from that communication were shared with law enforcement groups tackling the extortion crisis in Canada.
He added that the department’s extortion task force dug into the letter’s origin and content. But they weren't exactly spilling details about the investigation itself.
Meanwhile, the testimony came during proceedings involving Jashandeep Singh. He’s alleged to be a member of an extortion gang based in Edmonton, accused of involvement in shootings across Alberta, BC, and Ontario.
Investigators reportedly described how these extortion networks function. They were targeting members of the South Asian community, specifically business owners.
It turns out these threats often came through WhatsApp. Messages invoking names like Lawrence Bishnoi or Goldy Brar were common.
Police also believe another alleged associate, Jora Sidhu, handled a huge chunk of the communications coming from outside Canada.
Canadian authorities even used voice-matching techniques during the investigation. Trying to trace these threads is always complicated.
There were also shifts happening within the network. Investigators found evidence suggesting changes after some alleged fallout between Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar.
This fragmentation, they suggested, led to shootings happening without prior extortion threats. A sign of the organization breaking apart.
The challenge for Canadian police is massive. Tracing the firearms used in these extortion crimes is a nightmare. Weapons allegedly move between provinces way too fast.
One officer even testified that a single firearm connected to extortion shootings was used in two different provinces within twenty-four hours. Tracking it? Impossible. Seizing it? Much harder.
It seems Canadian authorities are starting to lean on deportation proceedings to tackle this whole extortion mess, especially when non-citizens are involved.
Figures cited in the report suggest the Canada Border Services Agency had opened hundreds of investigations into extortion suspects and issued removal orders as of May this year alone.
And it’s not just about extortion. The broadcaster touched on broader allegations linking criminal networks to violence aimed at pro-Khalistan activists.
Law enforcement has been looking into things like the alleged killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar back in 2023 and other related cases.
But India, New Delhi, they keep pushing back. They repeatedly reject any claims linking them to these criminal activities or acts of violence happening overseas.
Officials in India insist these allegations are baseless. They claim they are purely politically motivated. They also worry about extremist and separatist elements operating from foreign soil. They call for stronger action against groups pushing for violence and secessionism. It’s a messy picture, really.
