The 21-year-old Brampton man was allegedly assaulted and beaten by four men on the Sandalwood Heights High School grounds on March 19, 2018. The 21-year-old was stabbed to death. Three other men were also charged with first degree murder.

According to the bond acknowledgment document obtained from an Ontario court, Khattra was released on a bond of $ 240,000 on the condition that he live under house arrest at his parents’ home. He was also prohibited from communicating with his co-defendants, witnesses and the victim’s family. Khattra’s mother was one of his guarantors.

Court documents obtained by Global News found that on October 13, Karanvir Bassi and Gurraj Bassi pleaded guilty to manslaughter in connection with the murder of Paviter Singh Bassi. The third co-defendant, Harminder Bassi, also pleaded guilty to murder in December.

On December 15, Khattra’s lawyer filed a request with the High Court for the suspension of the proceedings under the Bill of Rights, alleging a violation of his right to a trial without unreasonable delay.

Justice Jennifer Woollcombe dismissed the request.

“The only reason this trial was not completed in May 2020, six months below Jordan’s roof, was the start of a global pandemic in March 2020,” he wrote, adding that the applicant “could not prove that the case has taken much longer than was reasonable at this unprecedented time. “

Khattra’s case was due to return to court on Friday.

Peel Regional Police Const. Himmet Gill told Global News that they know that Khattra’s case is still in court and confirms that they will investigate whether there is a link between his fatal shooting and the pending murder charge related to Paviter Bassi.

“It is a way that we are seeing as a possible motive for this homicide,” he said.

Meanwhile, police said they are looking for three suspects who were seen fleeing Rushbrook Drive in a gray Hyundai Tuscon. The van is believed to have been located shortly after the shooting in the area of ​​Grenoble Boulevard and Williams Parkway after being set on fire and abandoned.
