International Students Sentenced to Three Years for Fatal Hit-and-Run Dragging of Cree Man

The court’s decision triggers a concurrent driving ban with a deportation process to follow once their sentences conclude

Overview

  • The pair pleaded guilty earlier this year to dangerous driving, failing to stop at an accident and interfering with a dead body after deliberately dragging a pedestrian.
  • Surveillance video and court exhibits documented the victim’s 1.3-kilometre drag beneath a red Ford Mustang before his body was discarded on a Surrey street.
  • Judge Mark Jette imposed three-year concurrent prison terms alongside matching driving prohibitions for Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh.
  • The deceased was a 43-year-old father of Cree heritage, a fact underscoring broader concerns over Indigenous victimization in Canada.
  • The Canada Border Services Agency will initiate deportation proceedings once the former students complete their sentences under federal immigration rules.
