3 arrested and charged after protest at Brampton Hindu temple, police say

Peel Regional Police say three people have been charged after violence erupted as Indian consular officials visited a Hindu temple in Brampton on Sunday.

Police did not elaborate on the nature of the charges or the accused in a brief statement posted to X, formerly Twitter, in the early morning hours Monday.

They added, however, that they are continuing to investigate "several acts of unlawfulness" and that more information could be forthcoming.

Videos circulating on social media appear to show demonstrators holding banners in support of Khalistan, a proposed independent Sikh homeland in northern India, and clashing with other individuals, including some holding India's national flag.
