EXCLUSIVE: Future Deputy Prime Minister of Canada @TimUppal has a brother who was indicted on firearms charges in 2008 and then drug trafficking charges in 2014.

Research by @MediaBezirgan found that Uppal's brother was represented in 2008 by the same lawyer, Brian A. Beresh, who later represented another Singh involved in a historic 2023 cocaine bust in Edmonton that resulted in the seizure of 40.5 kg of cocaine. In this case, Alberta prosecutors dropped the charges without giving any public explanation.
In the 2014 drug-trafficking case of Uppal's brother, a stay of proceedings was granted after the Alberta Prosecution Services withdrew the charges. Similarly, in his 2008 case, 6 of 7 drug and gun charges were dropped by Alberta prosecutors.
Since May, we have made three attempts to obtain court records related to the 2014 drug charge against @TimUppal's brother, each attempt costing $15. •First attempt: The courts lost the case. •Second attempt: They sent the wrong file, which contained gun charges from 2008 - an exclusive revelation. • Third attempt: they lost the file again.

Today we filed our application for the fourth time. This is both disappointing and frustrating. Albertans deserve better.
Tim Uppal is close to Khalistani Sikhs for Justice and his wife was an executive with the World Sikh Organization. Why are so many Singhs arrested in arms and drug trafficking cases?
