  • Résumé

  • Early one August morning, the cameras outside Jas Arora's house in Abbotsford, B.C., recorded someone throwing glass bottles at his home. When Jas stepped outside to investigate, he found broken glass and smelled gasoline. He then got a call from a man speaking Punjabi, demanding millions of dollars.


    Jas is among many South Asian Canadians targeted by people who, the RCMP says, have connections to Indian gangs and the Indian government. They demand millions of dollars over the phone, and have targeted both homes and businesses. Many of the victims are scared to report what is happening to the police.


    This week on Storylines is CBC journalist Sohrab Sandhu’s documentary Our House. His doc will delve into the threats and extortion targeting members of the South Asian community in Canada, and what Canadian law enforcement is trying to do about it.


    Produced by Sohrab Sandhu with help from Liz Hoath / originally aired on The Current


    Storylines is part of the CBC Audio Doc Unit
