Canada deports militant

Accused of plotting to attack Badal, Gill

Toronto: Babbar Khalsa International terrorist Bachan Singh Sogi accused of plotting to assassinate the former Punjab Chief Minister, Parkash Singh Badal, his son Sukhbir and former State DGP K.P.S. Gill has been deported by Canada.

Sogi, 45, was removed on Sunday from the Riviere des Prairies detention centre in north-end Montreal after Canada's Public Security Minister Stockwell Day rejected his plea challenging a June 23 court order. — PTI
