In 2024, a 20-year-old Indian man, identified as Robin [no last name], pleaded guilty to trafficking roughly 3 million deadly doses of fentanyl, along with other illicit drugs valued at about $1.3 million in total.
He was sentenced to 8 years in prison and is to be deported after serving his sentence. But Robin, whom prosecutors described as part of a “sophisticated commercial trafficking operation,” had one kind request for the sentencing judge, Michelle Brass, the first ever First Nations woman appointed as a judge in Saskatchewan.
As his final request, Robin, who prosecutors said had three other Indian "international students" allegedly distributing for him, namely Arunpreet Singh, 23, Manav [no last name], 20, and Manav [no last name], 19, who were also arrested in connection with a separate drug bust valued at over $1 million, asked Justice Brass to recommend to Correctional Service Canada that he be allowed to serve his prison sentence in British Columbia, where he has family and friends.
According to researcher Bob Rai, it is inappropriate for the judge to make such recommendations on behalf of a fentanyl trafficker, and is another example of Canadian courts not treating “Sikh organized crime,” flooding Canada and the U.S. with fentanyl, with the contempt they deserve.
In Mr. Rai’s opinion, the Canadian judicial system has no merit because all judges are political appointments. Strikingly, Robin had no listed last name, and two accomplices also had no last names, both identified as Manav.
