DELTA, Canada (Diya TV) — Two men from British Columbia have been charged with first-degree murder in connection with the fatal daylight shooting of a Mississauga, Ontario businessman last month. The arrests mark a significant development in a case that drew national attention and raised concerns about possible international extortion links.
Peel Regional Police (PRP) announced that Aman Aman and Digvijay Digvijay, both 21 and residents of Delta, B.C., were taken into custody on May 28 with the assistance of multiple law enforcement agencies, including the Delta Police Department, Abbotsford Police, Surrey Police, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). The pair appeared in court in Surrey, B.C., before being transferred into the custody of PRP homicide detectives and brought back to Ontario to face charges.
The charges stem from the May 14 shooting of 51-year-old Harjeet Singh Dhadda, a Mississauga businessman who owned and operated G&G Trucking Solutions, a transportation safety and insurance company. The incident occurred just before noon near Tranmere Drive and Telford Way, in the area of Dixie and Derry roads.
Emergency crews arrived on the scene to find Dhadda suffering from critical injuries. He was transported to a local hospital, where he later died. Witnesses reported a dramatic scene, with multiple shots fired and a bullet piercing the window of a nearby office. A stolen 2018 black Dodge Challenger was used as a getaway vehicle; police later recovered the car, aiding in the investigation.
“This arrest is a testament to the unwavering perseverance and diligence of our homicide investigators,” said Peel Regional Police Chief Nishan Duraiappah in a press release. “Despite the suspects’ efforts to evade capture, our teams remained focused and relentless. This outcome sends a clear message — no matter how far you run, our teams will find you.”
Dhadda’s family and community members have been reeling since the killing. In an exclusive interview with CityNews, Dhadda’s daughter alleged that her father was being targeted by extortionists based in India but had refused to pay. Peel police have not confirmed this claim, stating only that “every avenue of the investigation is being examined.”
One nearby witness told CityNews they felt lucky to be alive after a bullet narrowly missed them and struck the front window of their office, underscoring the brazenness and potential collateral danger of the attack.
Aman and Digvijay appeared in a Brampton courtroom for a bail hearing on June 1. Authorities have not yet released information about a possible motive, and it remains unclear what connection, if any, the two suspects may have had to Dhadda or his business affairs.
Peel police are urging anyone with further information to contact their homicide unit or Crime Stoppers anonymously.
The investigation continues, and police say they are not ruling out additional arrests as they explore the full scope of the case, including the possible international extortion angle.
