A lawyer for Canada's Minister of Public Safety argued that releasing Karamveer Singh, an accused murderer linked to senior Bishnoi gang members, poses too great a public safety risk.FBI documents allege Singh was responsible for a 2024 arson attack on singer AP Dhillon's home and extortion of Punjabi musicians.

The government seeks to prevent his release from a Toronto immigration holding centre, citing his potential deportation to India where he faces a 2012 murder trial.Court filings include FBI surveillance photos showing Singh with jailed gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi's brother, Anmol Bishnoi.Singh's lawyer claims the FBI's allegations are unsubstantiated and that his client has complied with past release orders in Canada.

The case highlights tensions between Canadian immigration authorities and Indian legal systems, with Singh asserting he was falsely implicated in India's justice system.

His declaration from immigration custody claims he fled India due to perceived threats to his life, though he denies gang membership and claims his association with Anmol Bishnoi was a regrettable mistake.The court will decide whether to halt Singh's release pending further legal proceedings.
