UPDATE: RCMP seize ‘several’ firearms from Sikh residence in Surrey following viral wedding video

Surrey RCMP announced they’ve seized “several” firearms from the South Surrey residence where Sikh wedding attendees recklessly brandished prohibited firearms in a viral video. The RCMP’s update comes one day after stating that was no proof the video was even taken in Canada.

UPDATE: RCMP seize ‘several’ firearms from Sikh residence in Surrey after viral wedding video 

As reported in the Western Standard, Supt. Harm Dosange stated in a release, “We understand this incident was extremely alarming to the community at large,” adding, “Public safety is our top priority and our officers worked quickly to seize the firearms in question.”

The statement further indicated an investigation into identifying the men from the video has begun. No arrests have been made.

One of the guns shown in the video appears to be a VZ58, which is classified as a prohibited firearm. This means that anyone in possession of one is subject to strict regulations and could be in violation of laws related to the careless use, storage, handling, and transportation of it, with penalties of up to 5 years imprisonment.

On Thursday, a Surrey RCMP media spokesperson told The Counter Signal they are aware of the online video, and that she had viewed the viral video herself, but added that “it’s just alleged” to have taken place in Surrey.

“Unless someone from the event calls us and tells us it happened here, there’s no proof,” she said. 

However, online investigators discovered that the wedding took place in South Surrey at Pattar Farms, a 15-acre blueberry farm. 

The original video was posted by an anonymous social media user named V who said “a ‘wedding’ celebration taking place in Vancouver right now. What’s going on @rcmpgrcpolice @CSIS . Wake up Canada.”

Social media user Brattani later discovered that Harjit Singh Pattar of Pattar farms posted a video on his social media that revealed the location of the event was in Surrey. Mr. Pattar also appears to be one of the men who are alleged to be brandishing prohibited firearms.

Brazen acts of carrying weapons in Canada have been on the rise among certain Sikh individuals. Earlier this year independent journalist Mocha Bezirgan recorded a man walking in downtown Vancouver carrying a sword.

Mr. Pattar’s Facebook account also includes a picture of what appears to be the very guns seen in the video.

Mr. Patter was asked for comment on the allegations but did not provide feedback before publication.

None of the allegations have been proven true in court.
