Shots were fired at the home of Arvinder Khosa, the newly elected head of Cricket Canada, on Wednesday morning in Surrey, British Columbia.<\/p>\n
Khosa confirmed to CBC News that his house in Surrey\u2019s Newton neighbourhood was shot at but did not provide further details.<\/p>\n
The outlet reported that at least five bullet holes were visible in the door, windows, and exterior of Khosa\u2019s home.<\/p>\n
Police said they responded to the incident at 4:40 am and confirmed that the house was occupied at the time of the shooting.<\/p>\n

\u201cAn individual associated to the residence that was shot this morning has received extortion related threats,\u201d police said.<\/p>\n
Khosa previously linked to Bishnoi gang<\/p>\n
A CBC investigation had previously linked Khosa to the Bishnoi gang. He denied any such link.<\/p>\n
The broadcaster investigated Cricket Canada and reported last month allegations of corruption, organised crime influence, and attempts at match-fixing.<\/p>\n
The report said Khosa was connected to players who claimed to be part of the Bishnoi gang. These players, according to the report, threatened a member of the national men\u2019s team last year.<\/p>\n
Canada has declared the Bishnoi gang as a terrorist group. It has been linked to several crimes in the country, including acts of murder, shootings, extortion, and arson. Describing it as a transnational organisation, the Canadian government last year said the organisation operates primarily out of India and has a presence in diaspora communities in Canada. The gang is said to be run by jailed Indian gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.<\/p>\n
This is not the first time Cricket Canada executives have been targeted. In February and March, the Calgary home of a former board member was shot at in two separate incidents. Three men have been charged in the case, while a fourth suspect remains at large.<\/p>\n
There is no indication yet that the shootings in Surrey and Calgary are linked.<\/p>\n
