Shooting at Cricket Canada President’s Home

Wed, May 20, '26 at 8:01 PM

The home of the newly elected president of Cricket Canada in Surrey, B.C., was the target of a shooting early Wednesday morning, the fifth estate has learned.

Arvinder Khosa confirmed his house, located in the Newton neighbourhood, was shot but didn't provide any further details when reached by phone.

At least five bullet holes could be seen in the door, windows and exterior of the home. 

Surrey Police said the investigation is in early stages but the shooting is believed to be extortion related. 

Cricket Canada was the focus of a fifth estate investigation published last month that revealed broader allegations of corruption, influence by organized crime and attempts to fix parts of matches by major figures at Cricket Canada. Those accused deny the allegations.

It also revealed Khosa, who has maintained his position as the president of Cricket B.C., was connected to local players who claimed to be part of the Bishnoi gang and had allegedly threatened a national men's player in 2025. He previously denied those allegations.

Slippy,

 What was once celebrated as a safe haven of multicultural harmony is increasingly being tested by transnational crime, extortion, and targeted violence. For decades, Canadians proudly embraced a foreign policy and immigration system built on compassion, global integration, and open arms. However, as the spillover of foreign gang rivalries and extortion syndicates increasingly shatters the peace of Canadian suburbs, a growing national consensus is emerging: Canada must stop importing the world's violence.

The frustration felt by everyday Canadians is not rooted in xenophobia, but in a fundamental desire for public safety and the rule of law. When drive-by shootings, arson, and death threats become routine headlines in cities like Surrey, Brampton, and Edmonton, it signals a systemic failure. For too long, federal vetting processes and immigration loopholes have allowed individuals with ties to foreign criminal syndicates, such as India-based extortion networks, to exploit our generosity. When foreign networks use vulnerable international students or temporary residents to carry out violent extortions on Canadian soil, it undermines the very fabric of our society.

Canada’s legal system was designed around the principle of rehabilitation and community trust. It was never equipped to handle hardened, transnational criminal organizations that operate with total disregard for Canadian borders or human life. The primary victims of these extortion rings are law-abiding immigrants who came to Canada to escape the exact corruption and violence they are now facing in their own backyards. When community institutions and sports organizations become the targets of bullet holes, the threat is no longer distant, it is a direct assault on Canadian sovereignty.

Moving forward, Canada’s perspective must shift from passive tolerance to aggressive enforcement. Compassion cannot come at the expense of national security. The federal government must enact immediate, zero-tolerance policies: anyone on a temporary visa or refugee claim tied to organized crime, extortion, or gang activity must face immediate deportation, without years of bureaucratic delay. Furthermore, background screening for all newcomers must be vastly tightened.

Canada will always remain a welcoming nation, but that privilege must be reserved for those who respect our laws, our peace, and our values. It is time to draw a hard line: if you bring violence and lawlessness to Canada, you forfeit your right to call Canada home.
