No injuries, no suspects after home of Radio India's Maninder Gill hit by gunfire

Police call it a targeted shooting

The home of Radio India managing director Maninder Gill was the target of “heavy” gunfire just after midnight Monday.

Surrey RCMP said several 911 calls came in at around 12:30 a.m. reporting shots fired at a house near 121 Street and 56 Avenue.

The Gill family, which includes Gill’s wife and two adult children, was not injured but are shaken up, said Radio India host Gurpreet Singh, who talked to Gill at 6:30 a.m. this morning.

“He said it was more than 10 shots. He described it as ‘heavy firing,’” said Singh.

The front area of the house, including the living room and dining room, were hit with bullets.

“He’s concerned but he’s not afraid,” said Singh. “He is concerned for the welfare of his family and himself.”

Police are calling the incident a targeted shooting. No suspects are in custody.

Gill, 47, is facing several charges, including aggravated assault and two counts of discharging a weapon, in relation to a shooting at a wedding at Surrey’s Guru Nanak temple on Aug. 28.

The victim, 54-year-old Harjinder Singh Atwal, was shot in the leg with non-life-threatening injuries.

Gill, who has no previous criminal record, turned himself into police after a warrant was issued for his arrest.

He was released on a $200,000 bail on Sept. 9 with a number of conditions, including a curfew. He is also forbidden to contact Atwal, three of Atwal’s associates and their families.

Gill and his colleague Sukhminder Singh Cheema have filed complaints with police over the past few months, claiming they have been threatened.

On Aug. 3, Atwal and two other men filed a civil suit against Gill and Radio India alleging they were the subject of defamatory comments. The suit is ongoing.

Gill’s next court appearance on the alleged shooting charges is Sept. 30.
