CBC新闻获得的文件确认了一名涉嫌参与这起大胆的枪击及敲诈案的人。该案件发生在一年前,针对的是位于不列颠哥伦比亚省萨里市的一家直言不讳的广播电台。
Documents obtained by CBC News have identified a suspect in a brazen shooting and extortion campaign which took place one year ago against an outspoken Surrey, B.C. radio station.
除了去年9月对Radio Swift 1200 AM电台的袭击外,Ravinder Singh还被怀疑在安大略省的多起敲诈案中起到了组织作用;这些案件导致今年早些时候有17名男子被起诉,共计面临超过100项指控。
In addition to the attack on Radio Swift 1200 AM last September, Ravinder Singh is suspected of playing an organizing role related to extortion cases in Ontario that have resulted in more than 100 charges against 17 men earlier this year.
根据通过信息公开申请获得的移民与难民委员会(IRB)记录,这名25岁的男子隶属于“Hood 420”犯罪团伙。当局称,“Hood 420”要么与Lawrence Bishnoi有直接联系,要么利用Bishnoi的名字在多个省份实施威胁行为。
According to Immigration and Refugee Board (IRB) records, obtained through an Access to Information request, the 25-year-old belongs to Hood 420. Hood 420 is a gang authorities claim is either directly linked to Lawrence Bishnoi, or using his name to carry out threats in multiple provinces.
CBC新闻披露了Bishnoi团伙发给警方的一封信件,信中明确表达了敲诈要求。据CBC新闻拍摄的视频显示,这名Bishnoi的关联人员公然炫耀枪支、子弹和现金。今年7月,IRB以Ravinder Singh涉嫌在加拿大多地实施枪击(包括2025年9月29日对Radio Swift 1200 AM电台的袭击)为由,下达了将其驱逐出境的命令。听证会的记录显示,Ravinder Singh的手机中存有一份威胁信,信件以Bishnoi和该团伙头目Goly Dhillon的名义发出,要求支付500万美元,并威胁如果不满足要求将采取暴力手段。
CBC Investigates 'We will rule in CANADA': Letter from Bishnoi gang to police disclosed to CBC News Alleged Bishnoi associate flaunts guns, bullets, cash in video obtained by CBC News The IRB issued a deportation order for organized criminality against Ravinder Singh in July after he was implicated in shootings across Canada — including one on Sept. 29, 2025, at Radio Swift 1200 AM A transcript of the hearing says Ravinder Singh's phone contained a note matching the threat sent to Swift 1200 AM's owner in the names of Bishnoi and gang leader Goldy Dhillon "demanding five (5) million dollars and threatening harm if demands are not met."
这些文件引发了关于Ravinder Singh越狱情况的疑问。此外,他的拘留及审判程序也为安大略省、阿尔伯塔省和不列颠哥伦比亚省的重大敲诈案调查提供了新的线索——其中最引人注目的是皮尔地区警方去年5月对一个犯罪团伙的大规模打击行动,该团伙因24起案件面临106项指控。
Documents raise questions about inmate escape Ravinder Singh's detention and admissibility hearings provide new insight into major extortion investigations in Ontario, Alberta and B.C. — most notably a mass crackdown by Peel Regional Police last May on a group facing 106 charges connected to 24 incidents.
虽然警方此前将这些敲诈事件与一个名为“For Brothers”的组织联系在一起,但IRB(移民与难民委员会)的文件指出,Ravinder Singh“属于Bishnoi帮派,或者是一个名为‘Hood 420’的紧密关联的子组织,并且他与其他几名成员共同参与了犯罪活动”。这些文件还对2025年11月发生的另一起敲诈案中涉案人员的逃跑事件提出了质疑:该案中的嫌疑人Jagdeep Singh(24岁)仍在逃,加拿大各地都在发布对他的通缉令,他涉嫌在萨里(Surrey)和阿尔伯塔省北部制造多起枪击案。
While police had previously linked those extortions to a group called For Brothers, the IRB documents claim Singh "was part of the Bishnoi Gang or a closely tied subgroup under the name Hood 420 and that he and a number of other individuals were involved in criminal activity." The documents also raise questions about the November 2025 escape of Ravinder Singh's alleged accomplice in another set of extortions — Jagdeep Singh, a 24-year-old still wanted on a Canada wide-warrant in connection with multiple shootings in Surrey and northern Alberta.
加拿大边境服务局(CBSA)此前仅表示,Jagdeep Singh是在卡尔加里(Calgary)的Rockyview医院接受医疗评估期间逃走的。
The Canada Border Services Agency previously said only that Jagdeep Singh escaped from Rockyview Hospital in Calgary while undergoing medical assessment.
然而,Ravinder Singh的听证记录显示,Jagdeep Singh曾以“戒毒反应”为借口,欺骗了负责看管他的警卫人员。
But the transcripts of Ravinder Singh's hearing suggest Jagdeep Singh complained of drug withdrawal to give the slip to the contracted guards charged with keeping him in custody while at hospital.
这起逃跑事件在Ravinder Singh的听证会上被提及,因为尽管他此前向CBSA声称自己没有吸毒问题,但在被捕后确实出现了戒毒症状。他向CBSA官员承认自己“每天都会吸食黑焦油海洛因或鸦片”。
The escape was mentioned during Ravinder Singh's admissibility hearing because — despite having previously told the CBSA he had no drug issues — Ravinder Singh also started displaying substance withdrawal symptoms when he was arrested.
在萨里枪击案中被指控的三名嫌疑人中,Jagdeep Singh仍在逃。公共安全部(Ministry of Public Safety)的律师向IRB表示:“Ravinder Singh被送往医院接受治疗;值得注意的是,这起事件与他的朋友Jagdeep Singh从CBSA监管下逃脱的情况完全相同。”根据文件记载,Ravinder Singh接受了Suboxone药物治疗,随后被重新关押在移民拘留所,并被转介接受进一步的医疗治疗。
He told CBSA officers he "uses black tar heroin or opium daily." One of three men accused of Surrey extortion shootings on the run: RCMP A lawyer for the Ministry of Public Safety told the IRB Ravinder Singh "was transported to the hospital and it should also be noted that this is the exact same scenario that resulted in the escape of his friend Mr. Jagdeep Singh from CBSA custody."
CBSA在一份声明中对CBC News表示,该机构正在对Jagdeep Singh的逃跑事件进行全面调查。
“根据加拿大边境服务局(CBSA)的规定,使用合同聘用的警卫人员全天候(24小时/7天)负责被拘留人员的看管与控制是标准做法。这些警卫人员通过定期观察、监控、与被拘留者沟通以及必要时进行干预,来确保他们的安全。”CBSA在声明中这样表示。
According to the documents, Ravinder Singh was treated with suboxone and ultimately released back into immigration custody, where he was referred for ongoing medical treatment.
“警卫人员还负责根据需要将被拘留者及其行李和个人物品运送至不同地点;拘留操作的其他所有环节则由CBSA的官员负责处理。”
In a statement, the CBSA told CBC News the agency is "conducting a full review" of Jagdeep Singh's escape.
“把他们赶出去!”拉文德·辛格(Ravinder Singh)因在阿尔伯塔省的武器相关罪行,以及与安大略省案件有关的‘使用枪支犯罪’阴谋被起诉,但他从未因‘Swift 1200 AM’枪击案受到指控。
"It is standard practice for the CBSA to use contracted guards to maintain custody and control of detained individuals 24 hours per day, seven days per week.
根据移民与难民委员会(IRB)的文件,公共安全部和检方曾讨论过撤销对辛格的刑事指控,以便将他驱逐出加拿大。
The guards keep individuals safe and secure through regular observation, monitoring, engagement, and intervention," the CBSA statement said.
然而,加拿大边境服务局的一位发言人向CBC新闻表示,针对辛格的指控仍然有效。
"Guards are also responsible for transporting individuals, including their luggage and personal effects, to and from various locations as required.
拉文德·辛格在移民诉讼中自行辩护,但拒绝回应针对自己的指控。
All other aspects of detention operations are handled by CBSA officials." 'Get rid of them'
“我家里的父亲病得很重,我希望能尽快回去见他,以免发生更糟糕的事情,”他在法庭上说道。
“我确实想发表声明,但没人会相信我的话……所以,算了,我决定不再作任何声明。”
Ravinder Singh has been charged with weapons offences in Alberta and conspiracy to commit an indictable offence of discharging a firearm in connection with the Ontario cases, but has never been charged in the Swift 1200 AM shootings.
2025年10月1日,萨里市的一家广播电台遭到枪击,同时南亚社区还收到了敲诈勒索的威胁。《Swift 1200 AM》节目的主持人金妮·西姆斯(Jinny Sims)表示:“我认为应该尽快将他驱逐出境。”
The IRB documents claim representatives of the Ministry of Public Safety and the Crown have discussed staying criminal charges against Singh so he can be removed from Canada.
“我以前总是说‘不,应该继续追究他的刑事责任’……但现在,如果有什么更快的办法能‘把他们赶出去’的话,那就这么做吧,”西姆斯说道。她曾担任不列颠哥伦比亚省立法议会议员,并在联邦新民主党(NDP)政府中任职。
But a spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency told CBC News the charges against Singh are still outstanding. Ravinder Singh represented himself at the immigration proceedings, but declined to respond to the allegations against him.
这种敲诈勒索行为正在破坏我们的社区。它引发了极大的恐慌;只有在对那些涉嫌犯罪的人拥有确凿证据时,才应该将他们驱逐出境。这样,在他们等待审判期间,他们就无法继续在这里招募新成员了。
"My father back home is very sick and I want to go as soon as possible. I want to see him before anything bad happens," he told the tribunal at one point. "I do want to give a statement, but nobody is going to believe on my statement.
拉文德·辛格(Ravinder Singh)的别名为“Coach”。他于2019年8月持学习签证来到加拿大,后来获得了工作签证(该签证已于去年1月到期),并在一家位于萨里(Surrey)的墙壁和天花板制造公司工作。
So, it's okay. I don't want to make any statement." Surrey radio station hit by gunfire amid extortion threats targeting South Asian community October 1, 2025 Duration Swift 1200 AM host Jinny Sims says she thinks he should be deported — the sooner the better.
一位安大略省警方情报分析师在拉文德·辛格的听证会上作证称:辛格首次引起警方注意是在2025年秋季,当时安大略省卡莱登(Caledon)和布兰普顿(Brampton)发生了一系列住宅和商业场所遭枪击的事件。受害者收到了敲诈威胁,威胁者声称自己隶属于比什诺伊帮(Bishnoi gang),并要求支付钱财。据该分析师介绍,相关证人的陈述中提到了这些犯罪分子的别名;最初,警方只知道辛格的别名为“Coach”,经过调查后才确认了他的真实身份。
"I used to say, 'No, they should pursue the charges.' [But now] I think if there's a quicker way to get rid of them — get rid of them," says Sims, who has served for the provincial and federal NDP as both a member of B.C.'s Legislative Assembly and an MP. "This extortion business is destroying our community. It has created such big fear that's it's only when you're going to see these deportations — and I'm not saying just pick up anybody and deport them — but where you've got strong evidence then deport them, and they won't be here recruiting people while they're waiting for a trial."
目前,阿尔伯塔省皇家骑警(RCMP)正在搜捕这名与敲诈勒索案及枪击事件有关的嫌疑人。根据安大略省移民、难民和公民部(IRB)的记录,警方是在11月于雷德迪尔(Red Deer)逮捕拉文德·辛格后开始调查这些案件的。当时,他遇到了贾格迪普·辛格(Jagdeep Singh)——贾格迪普当时是另一起针对埃德蒙顿以西约75公里处一家轮胎店老板的枪击案的嫌疑人。
Known by the alias 'Coach' Ravinder Singh came to Canada in August 2019 on a study permit. He later obtained a work permit — which expired last January — for employment at a Surrey-based wall and ceiling company. An Ontario Provincial Police intelligence analyst who testified at Ravinder Singh's admissibility hearing said Singh first came to police attention in fall 2025 after a series of shootings at residences and businesses in Caledon and Brampton, Ont.
袭击者在一个有七人居住的家中开枪,随后发送了事件视频并索要200万美元赎金。据称,拉文德·辛格驾驶一辆道奇挑战者(Dodge Challenger)前往与贾格迪普会面;警方在车内发现了一把与多起敲诈勒索事件有关的枪支,以及一部能证明他与更多犯罪行为有牵连的手机。
"Extortion threats were received by the victim, claiming affiliation to the Bishnoi gang, and there was a demand for finances," the analyst testified.

警方在2025年秋季因卡莱登和布兰普顿的枪击事件开始调查辛格。
Alberta RCMP look for man wanted in connection with extortion scheme, shootings west of Edmonton According to the IRB transcripts, police began to make those connections after RCMP arrested Ravinder Singh in Red Deer in November — when he met Jagdeep Singh, who was then a suspect in shootings targeting a tire shop owner in Parkland, about 75 km west of Edmonton.
- 受害者收到威胁,要求支付钱财;警方通过证人陈述确认了他的真实身份。
The attackers shot up a home where seven people were present, later sending a video of the incidents and demanding $2 million.
- 阿尔伯塔省皇家骑警正在搜捕这名嫌疑人。警方检查了拉文德·辛格的手机,由此发现他的同伙们是用“Coach”这个绰号来称呼他的。调查人员在该手机中发现了发给贾格迪普·辛格(Jagdeep Singh)的信息,其中包含了有关阿尔伯塔省枪击案目标的信息。此外,他们还在手机中发现了发给伊克巴尔·辛格·巴格里亚(Iqbal Singh Bhagria)的WhatsApp消息;伊克巴尔·巴格里亚正是与卡莱顿(Caledon)和布兰普顿(Brampton)地区的敲诈案有关的嫌疑人。
Ravinder Singh allegedly showed up to meet Jagdeep Singh in a Dodge Challenger, where police found a gun linked to seven extortion-related shootings and a phone that tied him to many more. 'Locations and instructions' Police examined Ravinder Singh's phone, which is how they discovered that his alleged accomplices knew him by the nickname "Coach." Investigators allegedly found messages sent to Jagdeep Singh with information about the targets of the Alberta shootings. And they found WhatsApp messages sent to Iqbal Singh Bhagria, the suspect charged in connection with the extortion shootings in Caledon and Brampton.
“这些信息显示拉文德·辛格曾发送过与实际发生的枪击事件相符的地点和行动指令,”公共安全部的一位律师表示。“值得注意的是,这些地点和指令也与伊克巴尔·巴格里亚被捕时在其手机中发现的资料完全一致。”
"This shows Mr. Ravinder sending locations and instructions that align with the shooting events that occurred," a lawyer for the Ministry of Public Safety claimed. "And it's also noted that these are the same locations and instructions that were found in Iqbal Bhagria's phone when he was also arrested."
基于这些证据,埃德蒙顿当局于2月再次以移民和交通安全相关的罪名逮捕了拉文德·辛格。当时他正驾驶一辆灰色的丰田凯美瑞(Toyota Camry)汽车;根据车辆上的独特损坏痕迹以及监控录像,这辆车被认为与2025年秋季发生在萨里(Surrey)地区的一系列敲诈案有关。该车辆也被确认为Swift 1200 AM枪击案中的嫌疑车辆。
Armed with that evidence, authorities in Edmonton arrested Ravinder Singh a second time in February for immigration and traffic safety warrants. He was driving a grey Toyota Camry when police picked him up — a vehicle allegedly linked, through distinctive damage and CCTV footage, to a series of Surrey extortion cases which took place in the fall of 2025. The vehicle was also identified as a suspect vehicle in the Swift 1200 AM shooting. Gang called 'Hood 420' Ravinder Singh's admissibility hearing included testimony from RCMP Const.
在拉文德·辛格的听证会上,加拿大皇家骑警(RCMP)的主要调查员穆罕默德·埃尔·克里奇(Mohamed El Krich)提供了证词。埃尔·克里奇指出,在那起案件中,受害者收到了来自“Bishnoi帮”成员戈尔迪·迪隆(Goldy Dhillon)的威胁信息,内容包括“要么付款,否则你的家人会被人发现尸体”或“如果今天找不到你,明天也会找到你”。
Mohamed El Krich, the primary investigator for the Alberta extortion shootings — which also saw Molotov cocktails thrown at a business. El Krich said the victim in that case received messages citing Bishnoi gang member Goldy Dhillon and threatening, "Pay us or your family is going to find you in a body bag," or, "If we don't find you today, we'll find you tomorrow."
他还表示,拉文德·辛格的手机中保存着发给Swift 1200 AM电台的敲诈勒索短信,以及他搜索敲诈受害者地址的记录,以及为枪手提供的行动指示(例如“应该站在哪里”或“如何更换车辆牌照”等)。埃尔·克里奇还证实了拉文德·辛格与名为“Hood 420”的犯罪团伙之间的关联。
The RCMP officer said Ravinder Singh's phone contained the "extortion script" sent to Swift 1200 AM Radio, as well as evidence of him searching the addresses of extortion victims and directions for shooters "such as where to stand or where to change the vehicle licence plates." El Krich also drew the connection between Ravinder Singh and the group known as Hood 420.
“在他的手机里发现了相关证据,证明他曾是这个犯罪组织的成员。这些证据包括一些弹药的照片;这些弹药的排列方式组成了‘Hood 420’这个字样,此外还有几张与某个活动的照片——在该活动中提供了‘瓶装酒服务’(即顾客可以通过购买瓶装酒来获得额外的服务),并且该组织的名称也被印在了提供瓶装酒服务的宣传材料上。”埃尔·克里奇(El Krich)说道。
"There is content in his phone, indicating that he was a member of this group, including photos of ammunition that was laid out to spell Hood 420, as well as photos of an event where bottle service was an option and they had the group name advertised on the bottle service delivery," El Krich said.
虽然在加拿大,“420”这个数字通常与大麻有关,但在印度的犯罪亚文化中它具有特殊的含义——它指的是《印度刑法典》第420条,该条款规定“通过欺骗或不诚实手段骗取他人财产”的行为属于违法行为。公共安全部门的律师询问埃尔·克里奇,是否“Hood 420”与劳伦斯·比什诺伊(Lawrence Bishnoi)有关联;劳伦斯·比什诺伊是一名被关押的犯罪头目,据当局称他甚至从印度监狱里建立了全球性的犯罪网络。
Although associated with marijuana in Canada, the number 420 has a particular meaning in Indian criminal subculture — a reference to Section 420 of the Indian Penal Code which concerns "cheating and dishonestly inducing delivery of property." A lawyer for the Ministry of Public Safety asked El Krich if Hood 420 is affiliated with Lawrence Bishnoi, the imprisoned gang leader who authorities say has built a global network from an Indian jail cell.
“鉴于这些敲诈勒索的指控与这些犯罪组织有关联,我认为他们之间很可能存在联系。”埃尔·克里奇回答道。
"Considering that the extortion demands claim affiliation to these criminal organisations, I think that it's very likely there is a connection," El Krich replied.
“那这一切到底有什么意义呢?”(“What’s the point?”)拉文德·辛格(Ravinder Singh)自2月份以来一直被关押在移民拘留中心。
'What's the point?' Ravinder Singh has been in immigration detention since February.
此后,阿尔伯塔省的皇家加拿大骑警(RCMP)宣布对拉文德·辛格和贾格迪普·辛格(Jagdeep Singh)提起指控,这两人与帕克兰枪击案有关;不列颠哥伦比亚省的敲诈勒索特别工作组也宣布对贾格迪普·辛格以及另外两人提起指控,他们涉嫌在萨里(Surrey)地区发生的枪击事件。
RCMP in Alberta have since announced charges against Ravinder Singh and Jagdeep Singh in connection with the Parkland shootings, and B.C.'s provincial Extortion Task Force announced charges against Jagdeep Singh and two others for shootings in Surrey.
在这个敲诈勒索案件中,涉及多起纵火、汽车诈骗和枪击事件,这些犯罪行为遍布整个加拿大。警方表示:“这些行为对公众构成了威胁。”关于拉文德·辛格被驱逐出境的背景,还有更多详细信息……今年5月,皮尔警察局的敲诈勒索特别工作组将拉文德·辛格和伊克巴尔·辛格·巴格里亚(Iqbal Singh Bhagria)列入了被指控参与“有组织恐吓、威胁及暴力行为以勒索当地企业”的17名嫌疑人名单。皮尔警察局的一位发言人告诉CBC新闻,相关指控目前仍在法庭审理中。
Inside an extortion deportation case: The arsons, auto frauds and shootings linking crime across Canada 'Danger to the public': The story behind the deportation of a 'Ruffian' And in May, Peel Police's Extortion Task Force included Ravinder Singh and Iqbal Singh Bhagria's names in a roundup of 17 individuals accused of "a [co-ordinated] campaign of intimidation, threats, and escalating violence used to extort local businesses." A spokesperson for the Peel Police told CBC News the charges remain pending before the courts.
“不过,我们的调查仍在进行中。”皮尔警察局在一份声明中表示。"我们预计将在不久的将来实施更多逮捕并提出进一步指控。" Swift 1200 AM主持人Sims表示,尽管近期有关勒索案件的报告似乎有所放缓,但南亚社区仍然非常恐惧。
"However, our investigations remain active," Peel Police said in a statement. "And we anticipate making additional arrests and laying further charges in the near future." Swift 1200 AM host Sims says that, while recent reports of extortion cases appear to have slowed down, the South Asian community is still very afraid.
她呼吁警方和加拿大边境服务局(CBSA)提供更多信息。"你们希望受害者继续做所有这些事,把他们所做的一切都交给你们,但随后却有数周甚至数月的沉默,"她说。"他们需要得到进展更新,他们需要知道你们正在采取行动。否则人们不会再提供名字。他们会说'有什么用?什么也不会发生。'"比什诺伊帮派致警方的信于9月16日披露给CBC新闻
She called on police and the CBSA to provide more information. "You want the victims to keep doing all this stuff, give you everything they do, but then there is silence for weeks and months," she said. "They need to get updates, and they need to know that you're doing something. Otherwise people are not going to give you names. They're going to say 'What's the point? Nothing happens.'"
