Four were arrested in Surrey; the fifth, Sanket Singla, was arrested at Toronto Pearson International Airport on October 1, 2026, after investigators identified his alleged role while he was in India. These are allegations, not findings of guilt.

According to Hindustan Times, the Langley RCMP investigation began in June 2025 after co-owners of an auto dealership in Langley, British Columbia, reported significant extortion demands. Police reports connect the alleged campaign to attacks at Surrey and Langley business locations involving arson and shootings.

Why was Singla arrested at Toronto Pearson?
Hindustan Times reports that Singla was in India when investigators identified his alleged role. It says the RCMP coordinated with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC), the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) and international RCMP liaison officers in a controlled operation that facilitated his entry into Canada and arrest at Pearson.
The reports do not explain the operation’s precise mechanics or establish what the word “lured” means in this context. It is therefore not possible from these accounts to say how Singla was persuaded or brought to Canada, or to draw a legal conclusion about the operation.
