Police in Ontario have dropped all charges against one of three Sikh activists arrested in September for allegedly having a loaded handgun in a car.

Inderjit Singh Gosal of Brampton, Ont., Jagdeep Singh of New York and Arman Singh were all arrested on Sept. 19 in Whitby and charged with a dozen firearms offences, including careless use and illegal possession of a prohibited handgun.

Gosal is a prominent member of the Sikh nationalist Khalistani movement in Canada. Following the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C., in June 2023, Gosal replaced him as leader of the Canadian chapter of Sikhs for Justice.

Jagdeep Singh said he was informed by his lawyer on Thursday morning that charges against him had been dropped by the Ontario Provincial Police.
