Amritpal Baath, a known gangster from Amritsar, alleged that he was arrested in Canada, but Canadian authorities have not confirmed the claim.
Amritpal Baath, a gangster with a long history of criminal activity in the Amritsar region, recently claimed that he had been taken into custody by Canadian authorities. The claim was made through a social media post that quickly circulated among his followers.
In the post, Baath stated that he was arrested during a routine check in Toronto and that he would be facing charges related to organized crime. However, no official statement has been released by the Canadian police or the Canadian government to corroborate the allegation.
Canadian law enforcement officials have publicly denied any knowledge of Baath’s arrest. A spokesperson for the Toronto Police Service said they had no record of a detainee matching Baath’s description and that no arrest warrants had been issued.
At present, the situation remains unresolved. Indian authorities have not issued any statements, and it is unclear whether Baath’s claim is a publicity stunt or a genuine development. Investigations into the matter are reportedly ongoing on both sides of the border.
