The Story in Brief
Hindustan Times reports that York Regional Police have charged 19-year-old Jugaad Dhami, an Indo-Canadian from Brampton, with one count each of sexual assault and sexual interference. The alleged assault took place on May 25 at an amusement park in Vaughan, Ontario, where a youth was sexually assaulted by a ride operator during safety checks.
Police have released Dhami’s photograph as they believe there may be additional victims. There is no statute of limitations for sexual offences in Canada, and authorities are urging any other potential victims to come forward.
The Indian Opinion
This case will inevitably be used to stoke anti-immigrant sentiment in Canada, but it remains an isolated incident involving one individual. The police action shows the system works. Indians abroad should not be judged by the actions of a few. The real test will be whether Canadian media report this as a crime, not as an ethnic incident.
