TORONTO – Crime waves involving Indo-Canadians and Indian criminals who came to Canada posing as students continues unabated with the latest arrest of two Indo-Canadian men in over $250,000 bank fraud while a third suspect is being sought on a nation-wide warrant.

Two suspects, Harkomal Grewal, 35, of Brampton, and Aviraj Salota, 26, of Niagara Falls, have been arrested and are facing charges of fraud over $5000 and utter forged documents.

A Canada-wide warrant has been issued for a third suspect, Syed Kirmani, 48, of Brampton.

Peel Regional Police arrested Grewal and Salota and are seeking a third after an investigation into a bank fraud scheme that resulted in losses exceeding $250,000.

Investigators say between February and April 2024, the three suspects opened several fraudulent business accounts across Canada and deposited hundreds of counterfeit cheques valued at more than a quarter-of-a-million dollars.

Investigators say the investigation is ongoing.

“Peel Regional Police is working with other law enforcement agencies across Canada to identify more incidents and potentially more suspects,” a release states.
