Two Canadian Sikh Youth Implicated in Homemade Drugs Lab

CALGARY : Two Sikh youth, Sukhjeet Singh Sidhu, 21, of Calgary and Amanpreet Bal, 26, also from Calgary, are facing drug-related charges after a huge drugs laboratory was located by police in an apartment in Calgary. Over $88,000 in drugs and materials to make further drugs of varying types were discovered. The whole area was initially evacuated due to fears of the white powder being dangerous to the public. Local residents were later allowed to return, whilst the apartment in question remained off-limits until all traces of the drugs in their raw powder form could be safely removed.
It is a well known issue that a high number of Punjabi youth have been involved in gang warfare, drugs and narcotics dealing in some of the major cities in Canada. It’s an issue that many parents refuse to tackle due to stigma within Punjabi social circles.
The issue was also recently brought to light in a movie by Deepa Mehta, entitled ‘Beeba Boys’.
