girl brought brother to Canada by bogus marriage with Faked passprt

Toronto, May 22, 2008
Surinder Singh
Ashok Baath, SSP of Moga, Punjab, alleged in an interview with
the Toronto Star yesterday that Amanpal Gill of Brampton "married"
her brother Gursewak Gill – who used the alias Inderjit Singh
Brar for the marriage in India, as well as on the fake Indian passport
he used when entering Canada.
The police have also laid fraud and forgery charges against the
pair related to their bogus marriage and the passport. It is also
confirmed that Brar entered Canada in November 2006 under a spousal
sponsorship by Amanpal Gill. When the Indian police went to their
home village in Punjab, people who knew the siblings there confirmed
that Brar's passport photo matched the face of Gursewak Gill.
The Indian police have already charged Gursewak Gill and his sister
Amanpal Gill of Brampton. Jasbir
Singh Dhaliwal a Canadian citizen and the Indian police contacted
the Canadian High Commission in New Delhi shortly after the murder
in February for assistance in extraditing the Gills back to India.
According to Baath, Amanpal "masterminded this whole plot."
The Hamilton Spectator Wire Service wrote:
"The response is very weak. They are not being helpful,"
said Baath.
Embassy officials could not be reached for comment yesterday.Interpol
in Ottawa has not initiated any action in the case because it has
not been contacted by India, confirmed Sgt. Natalie Deschenes, a
spokesperson for the RCMP.
"Without a formal request for assistance from the Indian authorities,
Canada cannot do anything," she said. A Foreign Affairs official
said he could not comment on whether Indian officials had asked
for extradition.
Amanpal and Gursewak, who continues to use the name Brar, are believed
to still be in Brampton. Attempts to contact them were unsuccessful.
The siblings and the dead man were once friends who used to live
and work together as truckers in Brampton, said their former landlord,
who asked that her name not be used.
Answering an ad the landlord had posted at the gurwarda, Amanpal
and Dhaliwal, the victim, showed up to rent her one-bedroom basement
apartment in January 2006. The pair said they were married.
"We didn't ask to see their marriage certificate. Otherwise
in our culture, we wouldn't rent to them just living together without
marriage," the landlord said.
Gursewak came to live with them in the basement when he arrived
from India in November 2006.
The landlord confirmed that a photo obtained from the victim's
family, depicting Gursewak, was the same man who called himself
Inderjit Singh Brar. He was introduced to her as Amanpal's brother,
the landlord said.
All three housemates had truck driving licences and would be gone
for long periods of time, driving together on long-haul trips to
the U.S. and across Canada. They seemed to get along, the landlord
said.
"They were all quiet and nice. Never any problems or noise
or fights. They had their own separate entrance so we never even
knew when they were home."
Gursewak would greet her in the traditional Sikh way with "Sat
Sri Akal," and touch her feet to ask for her blessings, the
landlord said.
Dhaliwal abruptly moved out last fall, but the Gills never said
why and the landlord didn't ask.
She finally kicked out Amanpal and Gursewak last December, because
they had not paid their rent for several months. They did not leave
a forwarding address.
Amanpal came back to the landlord's place about a month later to
collect their mail and mentioned that her brother had gone to India.
That's the last the landlord saw of them, until she heard of Dhaliwal
's murder in the news.
"We were shocked. What a big scandal," she said.
Baath says a possible motive for the murder is avenging family
honour and pride. According to Baath, two men, Amit Kumar and Ashwini
Kumar, are under arrest in India. The Gills' Punjab-based parents
– Punjab and Shivinder – are also in jail charged with
conspiracy in the murder, but deny any wrongdoing.
Baath says Dhaliwal was offered a dowry of 21 lakhs (about $49,000)
in the arranged marriage, which his family disputes.
In any case, the dowry was returned when Dhaliwal was killed, the
Dhaliwals contend.
Indian immigration records show that an Inderjit Singh Brar entered
and left India during the time frame of the murder, Baath said.
"Nowadays, this is a great problem for us – NRI's (non-resident
Indians) from Canada using fake identities and committing crimes
over here," said Baath.
"Please find them (the Gills) and send them to India."
If found guilty, they could face death by hanging.
