Mississauga, Ontario – Harjeet Singh Dhadda, a Sikh Gurdwara committee member and businessman from Ontario, was shot dead in a targeted attack, according to sources. His murder has shocked the Sikh community across Canada.
Close friends revealed that Dhadda had received multiple extortion threats by phone. He had informed the local police about these threats, hoping for protection. However, his efforts could not prevent the attack.
Dhadda hailed from Bazpur, Uttarakhand, India. He lived in Mississauga and ran a trucking safety and compliance firm. Many people in the local transportation sector respected his work.
Beyond business, Dhadda was an active member of the Sikh community. He held a key position on the committee of a local Gurdwara and regularly supported community initiatives.
His assassination has left the Sikh diaspora in grief and fear. People from Gurdwaras and local organizations expressed anger over the rising attacks on Sikh figures. Many attended prayer gatherings and called for swift justice and better protection.
Peel Regional Police confirmed they have launched an investigation. They have not yet named any suspects. Police are exploring leads that may connect the killing to local extortion rackets.
Investigators urged the public to share any information that could help solve the case.
Dhadda’s killing follows a disturbing trend. Several Sikh community leaders and entrepreneurs have faced similar threats in recent months. Many fear a network of criminal groups is targeting immigrants, especially in the transportation sector.
Community members are now demanding stronger action to crack down on extortion gangs and ensure safety for all.
