Indo-Canadian Punjabi businessman shot dead in Mississauga; assailants fired 15 rounds

Harjit Singh Dhadda was shot dead near the intersection of Telford Way and Derry Road in Mississauga

MISSISSAUGA (TIP) : A 50-year-old Punjabi businessman was shot dead outside his office in Mississauga, Canada, officials said on Thursday, May 15.
According to sources, Harjit Singh Dhadda was shot dead near the intersection of Telford Way and Derry Road. The incident has sent shockwaves through the local community, marking the sixth murder in the city since the beginning of the year. The Peel Regional Police have yet to officially confirm the victim’s identity.
According to eyewitness accounts, Dhadda was near his car when unidentified assailants, believed to have been lying in wait, approached and fired 15-16 rounds before fleeing the scene. People in the parking lot ran for cover during the gunfire. An eyewitness said the gunmen exited a parked car, fired several shots at close range, and fled in the same vehicle. A nearby law firm employee reported that a stray bullet entered their office and hit an empty chair—just moments after he had stood up, narrowly avoiding injury.
Dhadda was rushed to the hospital in critical condition but later succumbed to his injuries.
Police spokesperson Michael Stafford confirmed that the case has been handed over to investigators and that nearby CCTV footage is being reviewed in an effort to identify the suspects.
Dhadda, originally from Bajpur district in Uttarakhand, had migrated to Canada nearly 30 years ago. He went on to become a prominent businessman in the trucking services industry.
Close associates, speaking on condition of anonymity, revealed that Dhadda had recently received threats from Indian phone numbers. The threats had deeply unsettled him, and Peel Police had reportedly issued prior warnings concerning his safety.
