Overview
- Shortly after leaving custody, Gosal appeared alongside SFJ leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun in a video that included threats directed at India’s national security adviser Ajit Doval.
- Ontario Provincial Police say Gosal and two others were arrested after a vehicle stop in Oshawa, with charges including careless use of a firearm, possession for a dangerous purpose, and carrying a concealed weapon.
- SFJ stated Gosal was freed from the Lindsay Correctional Centre and claimed he will lead the group’s planned November 23, 2025 “referendum.”
- Gosal is described in reports as a key aide to Pannun and took on a coordinating role in Canada following the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
- He was previously arrested after a violent clash at Brampton’s Hindu Sabha Mandir in November 2024 and was granted bail soon after, a pattern that has fed debate over Canada’s handling of pro-Khalistan activism and its diplomatic fallout with India.
