Ontario Sikh newspaper publisher attacked by gunmen

Police are investigating the beating of the publisher of a Punjabi-language newspaper by three masked gunmen in Brampton, Ontario. Jagdish Singh Grewal,42, said he was leaving the office of the Canadian Punjabi Post late Friday night when three men carrying a baton and a handgun between them approached him. He managed to get into his vehicle, but one of the men smashed his car window and pointed a gun to his head, Grewal said. The men pulled him out of his vehicle and dragged him across the parking lot toward a van, beating him along the way, Grewal said. But they let him go when one of Grewal's employees came out and saw what was happening. Grewal suffered minor injuries and was recovering at home on Monday.
