Winnipeg police are seeking to seize property from a father and son allegedly involved in a drug-trafficking operation across Canada, prosecutors say. Devinder Singh, 57, and his 32-year-old son Tarundev are charged with conspiracy to commit an indictable offence and drug-trafficking offenses, court records reveal.

According to a court filing, the pair organized crime investigators arrested last month allegedly used courier services and Canada Post to supply their Winnipeg drug-trafficking operation, which involved importing and redistributing bulk amounts of cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, ketamine, LSD, cannabis edibles, and opioids. Police also allege the Singhs used multiple aliases and Canada Post to ship cash to their drug suppliers.

In an investigation dubbed Project Pink Panther, police searched three homes and seized six kilograms of cocaine, methamphetamine, MDMA, ketamine, LSD, cannabis edibles, and nearly 1,000 fentanyl and opioid tablets, along with cash, firearms, ammunition, and packaging materials. Tarundev was also charged with firearms offenses.
