OTTAWA – A man convicted of arson and firing a gun at Indo-Canadian pop star AP Dhillon’s British Columbia home in 2024 has been ordered deported from Canada.

The Immigration and Refugee Board of Canada confirms that Abjeet Singh Kingra was found inadmissible to Canada on Monday.

The board says the ruling is based on a section of Canada’s Immigration and Refugee Protection Act that says a foreign national or permanent resident is inadmissible for engaging in organized criminality.

Kingra was convicted last year and sentenced to six years in prison after the attack that took place in Colwood on Sept. 2, 2024.

Assailants shot at Dhillon’s home and set two vehicles on fire before fleeing, although no one was injured in the attack.

Kingra was arrested in October of that year in Ontario while police have identified a second suspect who remains at-large.
