Interpol issues notices against nine Indo-Canadians

Toronto, Sep 24: The International Criminal Police Organisation (Interpol) has issued red corner notices -- similar to international warrants -- against nine Indo-Canadians for their alleged involvement in a drug smuggling network, a media report said. The notices were issued against Ranjit "Daraa" Aujla, Lehmber Daleh, Parminder Singh Deo, Sarabjit Singh Sandar, Harbans Singh Sidhu, Nirankar Singh Dhillon, Gursewak Singh Dhillon, Amarjit Singh and Pardip Singh, the Vancouver Sun reported on Wednesday. Aujla said he was innocent and ready "to fight the case" in India. He added the allegations have been swirling as rumours and occasional news reports since the 2013 arrest in Punjab of former policeman Jagdish Bhola. According to police, Bhola was the kingpin of a billion-dollar network supplying ***** to North America and Europe through his Indo-Canadian contacts who smuggled ***** out of India.
