Canadian authorities have initiated a series of legal proceedings and investigative operations to dismantle extortion rackets targeting South Asian populations in Calgary and Surrey.

加拿大當局已啟動一系列法律程序與調查行動，旨在剷除針對卡加利（Calgary）與沙里（Surrey）南亞裔人口的勒索集團。

In Calgary, the implementation of Operation Orion and Operation Outage has resulted in the indictment of sixteen individuals on 56 criminal charges. These suspects, all of whom are non-citizens residing under student or work visas, are alleged to have participated in an extortion network. Statistical data indicates that 49 extortion-related incidents occurred since April 2025, encompassing 19 shooting events. While Superintendent Jeff Bell noted a deceleration in violent activity—citing a reduction from nine shootings in the initial 60 days of the year to two in the subsequent 100 days—he expressed concern regarding the judicial decision to grant bail to fifteen of the sixteen accused. The administration of bail remains a federal jurisdictional matter, with more stringent legislation anticipated next month.

在卡加利，「獵戶座行動」（Operation Orion）與「斷電行動」（Operation Outage）的執行，導致 16 人因 56 項刑事指控被起訴。這些嫌疑人全部為持有學生或工作簽證的非公民，涉嫌參與一個勒索網絡。統計數據顯示，自 2025 年 4 月以來發生了 49 起與勒索相關的事件，其中包含 19 起槍擊事件。儘管總監 Jeff Bell 指出暴力活動有所放緩——從年初 60 天內的 9 起槍擊減少至隨後 100 天內的 2 起——但他對司法決定准許 16 名被告中的 15 人保釋表示擔憂。保釋管理仍屬於聯邦管轄事務，預計下個月將出台更嚴格的立法。

Parallel to these developments, the Surrey Police Service (SPS) conducted an investigation into a June 11 firearm discharge incident. This operation, facilitated by the Extortion Response Team (ExRT) and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), led to the arrest of four foreign nationals. Two individuals, Arman Singh and Simarjeet Singh, have been charged with the reckless discharge of a firearm. The remaining two detainees are currently held in CBSA custody without formal charges.

與此同時，沙里警察局（SPS）針對 6 月 11 日的一起開槍事件展開調查。此次行動由勒索應對小組（ExRT）與加拿大邊境服務局（CBSA）協作，導致 4 名外籍人士被捕。其中兩名人士 Arman Singh 與 Simarjeet Singh 被指控魯莽開槍。其餘兩名被拘留者目前被 CBSA 拘留，尚未被正式起訴。

Institutional coordination is further evidenced by the CBSA's reporting of 138 immigration investigations related to extortion across the Prairie provinces as of June 18, resulting in 37 removal orders and 18 deportations. Furthermore, Calgary authorities are analyzing potential linkages between local activities and the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, an entity characterized by national security partners as a terrorist organization. The strategic release of suspect imagery by both Calgary and Surrey police is intended to facilitate the identification of criminal associates and the mapping of illicit networks.

機構間的協調進一步體現在 CBSA 的報告中，截至 6 月 18 日，草原省分共計有 138 起與勒索相關的移民調查，導致 37 份驅逐令及 18 起驅逐出境。此外，卡加利當局正分析本地活動與 Lawrence Bishnoi 幫派之間的潛在聯繫，該組織被國家安全合作夥伴定義為恐怖組織。卡加利與沙里警方策略性地公布嫌疑人照片，旨在協助識別犯罪同夥並繪製非法網絡圖譜。

Current efforts focus on the judicial processing of foreign nationals and the ongoing monitoring of transnational criminal affiliations.

目前的重點在於外籍人士的司法程序處理，以及對跨國犯罪關聯的持續監控。
