‘Treated Him Like a Piece of Garbage’: 2 Men Face Deportation After ‘Knowingly’ Dragging Pedestrian Under Car
- In 2024, two 22-year-old men, Gaganpreet Singh and Jagdeep Singh, admitted guilt in a Surrey court to dragging a pedestrian 1.3 km beneath their vehicle, an act that led to the victim’s death.
- The incident occurred on January 27, 2024, when Gaganpreet, driving 79 km/h in a 50 km/h zone, struck the victim and only realized the victim was under the vehicle after briefly stopping.
- After the collision, the accused tried but failed to dislodge the victim’s body before fleeing and dragging him for 1.3 km, which caused prolonged harm noted in victim impact statements from the victim’s wife and mother-in-law.
- The Crown and defence jointly recommended three years' jail and driving prohibition for Gaganpreet, while the Crown seeks a longer sentence for Jagdeep, with deportation likely for both men as foreign nationals in Canada.
- The sentencing decision by Judge Jett is scheduled for July 16, 2025, following calls for accountability and recognition of the victim’s cultural impact and the severe harm caused by the accused’s actions.
