Sidhu children sue Peel police after parents killed in mistaken identity shooting

A brother and sister have launched a multimillion-dollar lawsuit against Peel Regional Police, alleging negligence in the case that led to the death of their parents in Caledon, Ontario.

Jagtar Sidhu, 57, and Harbhajan Sidhu, 55, were killed in a shooting linked to a revenge plot associated with former Canadian Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding.

According to the lawsuit, police visited the family’s rental home days before the incident seeking a man named 'Bobby' but left after failing to locate him.

The children argue that the police knew or should have known that the residents of the home were in imminent danger and that a warning could have prevented their parents’ deaths and their sister’s severe injuries.Jaspreet Kaur Sidhu, shot 13 times, remains recovering from serious physical trauma, including nerve damage and mobility restrictions.

Peel police deny any wrongdoing, stating they had no information suggesting anyone at the Caledon address was at risk and that their visit aimed to warn a man connected to prior shootings.

The lawsuit seeks over $80 million in damages for physical, emotional, and financial harm, highlighting ongoing questions about police responsibility and public safety.
