Anwerber bieten Studenten 10.000 US-Dollar an, um Erpressungsverbrechen zu begehen, sagt ein Gemeindevorsteher von Surrey

Time to offer rewards for reporting.
If you’re a student and your texts/emails leads to an arrest, you get the same+ more.

For what it’s worth, I would take his claims with a grain of salt. He’s basically trying to slyly suggest that these extortions are some Indian government conspiracy by invoking the Bishnoi gang as the main/sole perpetrators in these extortions. This is a common tactic among certain pro-Khalistan elements to attribute all crime within the South Asian diaspora to some Indian conspiracy rather than local criminal opportunism to derail India-Canada ties. I actually believe some of these crimes may be linked to pro-Khalistan gangs, as whenever a major positive development would take place between India and Canada over the past year, like clockwork there would conveniently be some high profile extortion attempt or violence immediately after or some pro-Khalistan group or activist claiming they’re being threatened by India , followed by pro-Khalistan elements seizing the opportunity to frame India and try to apply political pressure on the Canadian government to recede from normalizing ties with India.

Multiple government officials and police chiefs including the RCMP have stated that there is no evidence that India is behind this crime wave and have attributed the violence and extortions to copycats and local gangs.

Although many of the extortion incidents in Surrey, B.C., another hotspot, Brampton and Caledon have claimed to be the work of the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, an India-based terrorist group, Milinovich sees little evidence of that.)
