Two Suspects Identified in Horrific Attack on Man with Autism

Update: Both Ronjot Singh Dhami and Parmvir “Parm” Singh Chahil have now been arrested. The third suspect in this incident still has yet to be identified.

Over a week after three men were caught on camera beating a man with autism at a bus station in Mississauga, Ontario, two of the suspects have been identified. Police are still trying to identify the third suspect.

Canada-wide warrants have been issued for the two identified suspects: Ronjot Singh Dhami, 25, of Surrey, British Columbia and Parmvir “Parm” Singh Chahil, 21, who has no known fixed address.

Surveillance video from Square One terminal in Mississauga showed three men walking down a set of stairs and suddenly approaching, hitting, and kicking another man, who was sitting at the bottom of the stairs putting on rollerblades. The video didn’t show indication of what provoked the attack, if anything.

The victim, 29, sustained serious injuries as a result of the assault and was taken to hospital.

Though cops haven’t identified the third suspect, they said they believe he may go by “Jason.”

Police said in a statement Wednesday that they believe all three suspects may still be in the Greater Toronto Area.

Dhami’s lawyer, Jag Virk, told CP24 that his client has plans to turn himself in and “maintains his innocence.” Dhami has a criminal record, including a 2011 conviction for assault with a weapon.

He also was previously charged with a three-count indictment for possession for the purpose of trafficking heroin, cocaine, and fentanyl. Those charges came via him being stopped for a traffic violation. Later, while in custody, drugs were discovered in his cell, Global News reports.

“There is no doubt that Mr. Dhami expelled these packages from his rectum sometime shortly before 13:00 hours on June 11, 2014,” BC Supreme Court Justice Peter Rogers wrote. Dhami was acquitted on those charges in January 2017.

Police are encouraging the suspects to contact lawyers and turn themselves in.
