Court Documents Allege Link Between Project South Investigation, Ryan Wedding Case
Court documents say the alleged plot involved inside access, police data leaks and 17 criminal charges against a Toronto constable.
- On Friday, newly unsealed court documents linked the Project South police corruption probe to an alleged plot to kill a senior correctional officer at Toronto South Detention Centre, implicating inmate Gurpreet Singh and correctional officer Nishwant Dosanjh.
- Investigators allege Singh, an associate of alleged drug kingpin Ryan Wedding, directed the attack through external facilitators and Dosanjh, his alleged former girlfriend who supposedly provided the target's license plate information.
- Documents describe Dosanjh as 'compromised,' noting she received expensive gifts from Singh and frequently met him in private, reportedly photographing the guard's vehicle plate later used to identify and target his home.
- Neither Singh nor Dosanjh has been criminally charged in Project South. Dosanjh's lawyer Kim Schofield stated her client 'adamantly maintains her complete innocence,' while Singh's counsel, Brian Greenspan, criticized the lack of charges months after warrant executions.
- Project South has resulted in charges against 27 people, including seven serving Toronto police officers. Justice Laura Bird continues to hear arguments regarding whether to maintain the publication ban on the remaining 500-plus pages of documents.
