A 51-year-old Indian man, Jagjit Singh, has been convicted in Canada for harassing two teenage girls outside a high school in Sarnia, Ontario. Singh, who was visiting his newborn grandchild on a six-month visa, will be deported permanently after his conviction. The incident occurred in September when Singh repeatedly approached girls at a local high school, attempting to speak to them about drugs and alcohol, and insisted on taking photos. He allegedly placed himself in their personal space and made them uncomfortable. Despite not speaking English, Singh continued to follow female students, leading to his arrest on September 16. He was initially charged with sexual interference and sexual assault but pleaded guilty to criminal harassment. Singh was given a short jail sentence and a three-year probation order, which includes a ban on contacting the victims or being near their home, workplace, or school. He will be removed from Canada and barred from returning, marking a swift conclusion to a visit that turned into a criminal case.
