CTV reports that Gagandeep Singh was attacked on his way home on Friday night. Seeing Gagandeep after the incident, Councilwoman Mohini Singh said the victim was in a "horrific" condition. Mohini said his eyelids were swollen shut, and he spoke in hushed whispers due to his pain. She also said that a group of 12–15 teenagers had harassed Gagandeep on the bus, tossing a wig at him at one point. Unsplash After getting off the bus, they surrounded him and began punching him in the face, ribs, arms, and legs before dragging him across the sidewalk by his hair and ripping off his turban. Gagandeep returned to his senses and called a friend, who came over and dialled emergency services. YouTub lae Mohini Singh said that the fact that Gagandeep is a Sikh and from India undoubtedly played a factor in the attack, which in her view, was racist and should be investigated as a hate crime. "They got off after him, waited for the bus to leave, and then they swarmed him, they beat him in his face, in his ribs, arms, and legs and then proceeded to grab his turban, pull his hair and drag him," Mohini Singh said, adding that the group took the turban with them when they left Gagandeep in a pile of "dirty snow" on the side of the road. Friends and other international students of Gagandeep were so upset and terrified by the incident that they gathered at the bus stop to talk about how they no longer felt safe. Unsplash After someone was "hit from behind and attacked" by a group at the bus stop on Friday evening, the Kelowna Royal Canadian Mounted Police have stated that they are investigating the incident. Officers arriving on the scene saw the victim "lying on the ground," and paramedics transported them to the hospital. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Kelowna have expressed grave concern about this crime. Constable Mike Della-Paolera, the force's spokesman, said the attack was their top investigation priority. Many groups and individuals have voiced their condemnation of the assault on Gagandeep. In light of this incident, the International Sikh Organization of Canada has released a statement condemning all acts of hatred. As everything was going on, Kelowna Mayor Colin Basran remarked that his city was "better than this," He urged the public to rally alongside Gagandeep and his family.
