Kanwarjyot Singh Manoria arrested for threatening to cause death or bodily harm against Brampton Mayor Patrick Brown and his family
A source familiar with the investigation previously told CP24 that the threat was made via email, using a server based in Sweden to mask his IP address.
In a subsequent interview with CP24, Brown said the suspect allegedly claimed to be a “professional overseas criminal” who told him to leave his position in Brampton or he, his wife and his son would be killed.
Brown said police were initially concerned that the threat may have been triggered after he called on the federal government in June to label the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, an India-based group linked to a number of criminal activities which he said has entrenched itself in Peel Region, as a terrorist organization.
