I thought it was a toy gun: Indian man in Canada says he had no idea his friend was working for Lawrence Bishnoi

Jashandeep Singh, an Indian man, who has been linked to the incidents of extortion and shooting in Canada, made some shocking revelations after his friend Arshdeep Singh was deported back to India for his direct role in criminal activities in Ontario, Alberta and BC. Jashandeep said in his immigration hearing that he was not connected to the gang, he did not even know his college friend Arshdeep was and that his only mistake was that he never asked his friend why he had a gun -- because Jashandeep believed it was a toygun and even posed with it.

"It was my bad. Why didn't I ask them at that point in time?" Singh testified through a Punjabi interpreter. "At that point, I didn't know if I held the gun, they would connect me with extortion."
