Khalistani terrorist Inderjeet Singh Gosal, arrested less than a week ago in Canada, has been released on bail, according to reports.

Soon after leaving Ontario’s Central East Correctional Centre, Gosal appeared alongside Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the chief of the banned outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). In a video, Gosal openly threatened India’s National Security Adviser Ajit Doval and declared:

“India, I’m out to support Gurpatwant Singh Pannun and to organise the Khalistan referendum on November 23, 2025. Delhi banega Khalistan (Delhi will become Khalistan).”

Pannun, who has repeatedly taunted Indian authorities, added:

“Ajit Doval, why don’t you come to Canada, America, or any European country and try to arrest or extradite me? Doval, I am waiting for you.”

Earlier this year, Pannun was charged in India for attempting to undermine the country’s sovereignty after announcing an Rs 11-crore bounty for anyone who could prevent the Independence Day flag-hoisting at Delhi’s Red Fort.

Gosal, seen as one of Pannun’s key aides in Canada after the 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, was arrested on September 19 at a traffic stop in Ontario. Two others, Jagdeep Singh from New York and Arman Singh from Toronto, were also detained.

According to Canadian police, the trio faced several firearm-related charges, including:

  • Careless use of a firearm

  • Possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose

  • Carrying a concealed weapon

They were produced before the Ontario Court of Justice in Oshawa, with police stating that prison terms were possible if the charges were proven. Despite the serious accusations, Gosal was granted bail on September 25.

This is not the first time Gosal has been freed soon after arrest. In November 2024, he was taken into custody by Peel Regional Police following a violent clash at the Hindu Sabha Mandir in Brampton, but was granted bail almost immediately.

India-Canada relations have long been tense over Ottawa’s perceived soft stance on Khalistani separatists. While Gosal’s latest arrest initially appeared to reflect a firmer approach by Canada’s new administration, his swift release has again raised questions about the credibility of such actions.
