people were charged in a cross-border drug bust valued at over C$139 million, with dozens of Indian-origin men among them.

Nearly 1.7 tonnes of suspected cocaine, methamphetamine, and opium were seized in the year-long operation called Project Bay.

The trafficking network allegedly used commercial transport routes to move drugs across the Canada-US border, recruiting drivers through a broker-style system.

Charged individuals include Gagandeep Thindal, Simranjit Singh, Jatinderpal Singh, Jasvinder Sohi, and others from Ontario.
