An incident of alleged racial discrimination against a Punjabi Sikh has been reported in Woodstock, Ontario, Canada. According to information, a local युवक allegedly pushed and verbally abused an elderly Sikh man, asking him to leave Canada and return to Punjab. The युवक was also heard saying, “What are you doing in my country?” The incident took place on Friday when the elderly man was walking outside his residence. During this time, the युवक reportedly misbehaved with him. A video of the incident has also surfaced, showing the आरोपी, who was wearing a mask, making racial remarks. People present at the scene immediately informed the police. Upon arrival, the police intervened and brought the situation under control.

A spokesperson for the police confirmed that the आरोपी has been taken into custody and an investigation is underway. Authorities have not disclosed the identities of either the आरोपी or the elderly Sikh man, citing Canadian laws that restrict the release of such details during an ongoing investigation.
