"Bindy Johal"

Famous

• The Punjabi Mafia was notorious in Vancouver in the early to mid 90s. They have been linked to the Independent Soldiers (IS), Red Scorpions, Lotus Triads, Hells Angels, and the United Nations gang in Canada although several members of the Independent Soldiers can also be grouped as part of the mafia as well. Bindy Johal was accepted into the Punjabi Mafia in the early 1990s most likely through Ranjit Singh Cheema. Ranjit Singh Cheema and Jimmy Dosanjh were among the few who had full control of the criminal organization. According to Johal's former lieutenant Bal Buttar, Punjabi Mafia hitmen claimed contracts in Canada, the United States, and India. They are responsible for over 100 murders in Canada alone and the majority of those murders still remain unsolved. Buttar admitted to performing several executions alongside Bindy, as well as the unsuccessful attempt to kill Johal's associate and former brother-in-law, Peter Gill. Buttar, however, was even shocked when Bindy said he wanted his own cousin killed. "I thought this guy was kidding but he was actually being serious, he wanted to take him out."

• A former gangster paralysed in a 2001 shooting admits he arranged the unsolved 1998 murder of crime boss Bindy Johal, even though he was working under Johal in the "Indo-Canadian Mafia" at the time. Bal Buttar, now a 28-year-old blind quadriplegic, told The Vancouver Sun in exclusive interviews that he felt he had to take Johal out because of erratic behaviour by the notorious cocaine dealer that included killing off a series of his own associates. "If I hadn't killed him, he would have got me," Buttar explained. "I had no choice." Buttar, who was shot twice in the head at a Vancouver hair salon in August 2001, also confessed to having a role in other unsolved murders. In a series of interviews, he offered a disturbing glimpse into a criminal underworld that lures teens craving attention, money and power and turns them into gangsters, drug dealers and killers willing to betray their best friends to move up in the organization. He now says he has found God and abandoned his criminal ways. He wants to go public to help kids avoid the path he chose as a teenager when he met Johal and became part of a criminal organization that grew to be worth millions. He is also working on a book about his life and wants to start a foundation to aid crime victims. His objective in writing the book is not to name names, but to explain what has gone on in recent years. "I've never in my life been a rat and I'll never be one," Buttar said. "I never used to believe in God before. But once he gave me a second chance, I knew it was for a reason and that reason is to write a book. He'd like to take his message to school children: "If this ever comes to you, watch out you've got two ways to go, either the right or the wrong." As part of his newfound mission, Buttar agreed to provide information to a Sun reporter about a string of unsolved murders in recent years involving young Indo-Canadian men.

Buttar

• Johal was earning approximately $50,000 a week in his prime although there were members in the organization earning more than he was given that he was not the leader and still moving up the ranks. He was also affiliated to the Dosanjh and Buttar brothers who were well known across the lower mainland for their brutal gangland slayings.Reportedly Chan had sold "diluted" cocaine to Roman Mann, one of Johal's associates. Chan was allegedly held captive for 50 or 56 hours, part of which was spent in an automobile truck. Johal negotiated Chan's release with his brother in exchange for five kilos of cocaine. Chan's brother was Raymond Chan, a gang member of the Chinese criminal organization called the "Lotus"
