A week after the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton was attacked by pro-Khalistani agitators on November 3, the principal organiser of the Khalistan referendum in Canada was arrested on Friday.
Identified as Inderjeet Gosal, the accused was arrested by Peel Regional Police in connection with the attack on the temple and devotees at The Gore Road in Brampton.
The attacker was slapped with assaulting with weapon charge and later released under certain conditions.
