Canadian detention of Karamveer Singh

Overview

Karamveer Singh, an Indian national alleged to be a member of the Bishnoi gang, remains in Canadian immigration detention following a Federal Court ruling. Justice Phuong Ngo overturned a previous decision by the Immigration and Refugee Board that had ordered Singh’s release under house arrest with a $100,000 cash bond.

The court determined the release order was unreasonable, noting that the board failed to adequately address evidence regarding the credibility and financial suitability of Singh’s sisters as bondspersons. Additionally, the Canada Border Services Agency had previously rejected a cash bond due to concerns regarding the source of the funds. The ruling maintains Singh’s custody due to concerns regarding his potential danger to the Canadian public and his status as a flight risk.
