Toronto, Dec 15 : Indo-Canadian truck driver Jaskirat Singh Sidhu, who is serving an eight-year jail sentence for killing 16 young hockey players in a 2018 crash in Saskatchewan, is now another step closer to being deported to India.
A former international student, Sidhu had jumped the traffic lights at an intersection and rammed his truck trailer into the bus carrying players of the Humboldt Broncos hockey club, killing 16 and injuring 13.
A federal court on Thursday dismissed Sidhu’s application to stop his deportation. The Canada Border Services Agency has recommended that Sidhu be deported to India.
