Surrey, Canada, September 30, 2026: Gunmen opened fire at Punjabi radio station Radio Swift 1200 AM in Surrey, Canada, during a live broadcast on Tuesday, damaging the station’s windows and walls. No injuries or casualties were reported.
According to police investigation, a criminal group identified as ‘Hood 420’, allegedly linked to the networks of Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Dhillon, has emerged in connection with the attack.
Police reportedly recovered a threatening note from the phone of Ravinder Singh, 25, who is alleged to be associated with the group. The note allegedly demanded $5 million from the radio station’s owner. The shooting reportedly took place on September 29 after the demand was allegedly not met.
According to the information available, Singh faces more than 100 cases related to alleged extortion and shootings in Ontario and Alberta. The Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) has reportedly issued a deportation order against him over alleged organised-crime involvement, and he is currently in immigration detention.
Police are also searching for his alleged associates, Jagdeep Singh, 24, and Iqbal Singh, in connection with the case. A Special Investigation Team has been constituted to investigate the shooting and identify all those involved.
