Barbecue row to arrest: Indian-origin landlady’s Canada dispute goes viral

What began as a minor disagreement over a barbecue at a rental property in Canada quickly turned into a heated dispute that culminated in the arrest of an Indian-origin landlady. The woman, identified as Raj Tiwana in Indian media reports, was apprehended by police in Surrey, British Columbia after a series of videos detailing escalating tensions between her and her tenant began circulating on social media.

The Times of India and Hindustan Times reported on the matter, although Hindustan Times cautioned that the authenticity of the footage was yet to be independently verified.

The controversy centered around a barbecue incident, which allegedly involved Tiwana knocking food off a grill and the tenant's claim of unauthorized entry into her home. The situation escalated further when Tiwana allegedly changed locks and disappeared with a door from the property. These allegations were largely presented through video evidence posted on an Instagram account called Tiwana Farm Survivor, which largely echoed the tenant's account of events.

Surrey Police Service confirmed that an arrest had been made, although no charges had been approved at the time of the report. The investigation remained ongoing, as stated by the force. The Instagram account documenting the dispute, Tiwana Farm Survivor, presented the tenant's version of events, leading to widespread discussion and debate on social media.
