CALGARY, CanadaâTwo Sikh youth, Sukhjeet Singh Sidhu, 21, of Calgary and Amanpreet Bal, 26, also from Calgary, are facing drug-related charges after a huge drugs laboratory was located by police in an apartment in Calgary.
Over $88,000 in drugs and materials to make further drugs of varying types were discovered.
The whole area was initially evacuated due to fears of the white powder being dangerous to the public. Local residents were later allowed to return, whilst the apartment in question remained off-limits until all traces of the drugs in their raw powder form could be safely removed.
It is a well known issue that a high number of Punjabi youth have been involved in gang warfare, drugs and narcotics dealing in some of the major cities in Canada. It’s an issue that many parents refuse to tackle due to stigma within Punjabi social circles.
The issue was also recently brought to light in a movie by Deepa Mehta, entitled ‘Beeba Boys’.
REPLY TO MANN:
FIRST OF ALL, YOUTH DOING EXPERMINTING WITH DRUGS IS ALWAYS AN ISSUE IN EVERY SOCIETY, AND OF COURSE IN PUNJAB THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO DESTROY THE PUNJABI YOUTH AND THEY PURPOSELY LET DRUGS FLOW FREELY THROUGHOUT THE STATE AND POLITICIANS ARE INVOLEVED…
THESE KIDS IN CALGARY ARE DUMB, THEY WILL LEARN THEIR LESSON ONCE THEY’VE BEEN ARRESTED, BUT WE DONT EVEN KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS STORY YET, BUT WHAT I WAS TRYING TO POINT OUT THAT SUCH STORIES DEFAMES THE “SIKH” COMMUNITY, WHENEVER ANYTHING HAPPENS, WHY POINT OUT THEIR RELIGION? DO WE SAY CHRISTIAN YOUTH IN ENGLAND CAUGHT DRINKING AND DRIVING OR DO WE EVER SAY JEWISH KIDS IN NEW YORK CAUGHT WITH COCAINE? NO… BECAUSE THERE IS NO POINT IN THESE INCIDENTS TO MENTION THE RELIGION THESE KIDS WERE BORN INTO… EVEN IF THEY CALLED THEM INDO-CANADIAN YOUTH THAT WOULD’VE BEEN BETTER THEN SIKH BUT THESE ARE JUST TWO CANADIAN YOUTH CAUGHT DOING STUPID THINGS, THIS IS ALSO NOT AN EPIDEMIC ISSUE FOR PUNJABI YOUTH IN ABERTA…
REASONABLE SOUL… OKAY SERIOUSLY YOU ARE HERE TO WRITE WRONGFUL THINGS ON PURPOSE, GET OUT OF THIS DEBATE, NO ONE HERE IS CALLING THESE YOUTH RSS, RSS HAS ENOUGH OF ITS OWN PROBLEMS IN INDIA, GET OUT OF HERE REASONABLE SOUL, OR SHOULD I SAY “LYING SOULLESS INDIAN SPY”
They must be RSS agents
Again sly sarcasm from someone who is a supporter of the RSS…
These kids were born in a “Sikh family ” ,as they seem to have sikh sounding names .This kind of news are important ,because these kids could be going to “Sikh camps ” ,and may be peddling drugs there .
On the weekends ,when lot of sikh families go to Gurudwaras in Canada USA ,UK ,these “SO CALLED SIKH kids , could very easily talk to innocent kids about drugs .AND THEY DO . THERE ARE PLENTY OF THESE KIND OF KIDS .
AND THIS HAS HAPPENED IN MANY MANY PLACES IN WEST AND INDIA .
AND IT IS HAPPENING
MANY RICH ,SIKH PEOPLE ARE INVOLVED IN DRUG TRAFFICKING .
THEY WILL BE CAUGHT .
FOR YOUR SAKE AND FOR ALL YOUR LOVED ONES ,MISS KAUR ,WON’T YOU AGGREE THAT ,NEWS LIKE THESE HELPS TO BRING THIS UGLY ,SORDID PROBLEM TO THE FOREFRONT
Agree with miss kaur….why report on these 2 dumb kids and even worse label sikh? There are million other things to report. Shame…. The quality of reporting by Sikh24 is going down these past few months. Administration please look into it.
also, this happened in calgary, alberta and your site shows a picture from another canadian province… are you that desperate for attention with your pathetic headlines and misleading information (using wrong picture)???
two dumb kids, why are you referring to them as sikhs and why is such as an article posted? if these kids were white, would you have said two christian kids caught making drugs? this kids are dumb and obviously mislead and perhaps dont even identify with sikhi
