Dhanda Granted Bail Amid Drug Smuggling Charges | Vancouver News
Description
Ravinder Dhanda, accused of orchestrating a massive drug smuggling ring that moved over 400kg of cocaine into Canada via semi-trucks, has been granted bail — but under brutal conditions including $700K surety, electronic monitoring, and 24-hour house arrest. The operation, dubbed “Operation Hard Ball,” involved covert coordination with an informant posing as a dispatcher, and revealed chilling details like planned extortions and even discussions of murder. Despite these red flags, the judge deemed him not a flight risk due to deep community ties. His co-accused Gurtej Smagh was denied bail; Jaskarn Baghri’s hearing looms. Dhanda’s extradition battle continues, with his next court date set for September 9th.
