Karamveer Singh Remains Detained After Canadian Court Overturns Release Order
Federal Court Justice Phuong Ngo ruled that the Immigration and Refugee Board’s decision to release alleged Bishnoi gang member Karamveer Singh was unreasonable. The court found the board failed to address critical evidence concerning the credibility and financial suitability of Singh’s two sisters, Harpawanjit Kaur Dhaliwal and Navneen Kaur, as bondspersons. CBSA had refused a $100,000 cash bond from Singh’s brother‑in‑law over concerns about the source of funds, keeping Singh in custody.
Singh, detained since April 2, was previously ordered released on June 10 with house‑arrest, electronic monitoring and a $100,000 cash bond. The next detention‑review hearing is scheduled for August 5. The Immigration and Refugee Board stated it has no public information on upcoming hearings. The ruling highlights ongoing concerns about Singh’s medium‑level flight risk and potential danger to the Canadian public.
