Court documents also show that Atwal was in provincial court in Surrey April 26, where he was released on bail. Jaspal Atwal, the man who was at the centre of controversy over an invite he received to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s official events in India, has been charged with uttering threats in connection to an April 23 incident in Surrey, B.C. Atwal made headlines during Justin Trudeau's February trip to India, when he showed up at an official event despite a previous conviction for trying to assassinate an Indian cabinet minister during a trip to Vancouver Island in 1986. A spokeswoman for the Prime Minister’s Office said in March that Mr. Trudeau does not know Mr. Atwal: “The Prime Minister attends hundreds of events each year and meets with tens of thousands of people.”
Jaspal Atwal, who was the subject of attention during Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's visit to India, is charged after making death threats against a Canadian radio host.
