The former Air Canada manager, 32-year-old Simran Preet Panesar, who is facing a Canada-wide warrant and is wanted by the Canadian authorities for his alleged role in the gold heist of over $20 million, the largest in the country’s history, is living on the outskirts of Chandigarh.
In over a month-long investigation, The Indian Express, in collaboration with the CBC News: The Fifth Estate, Canada, tracked Panesar who is found living in a rented accommodation with his family including his wife Preety Panesar, a former Miss India Uganda, a singer and an actor. Preety is not believed to have been involved in the heist. Preet Panesar’s legal team is contesting his case in Canada.
