Peel Regional Police in Ontario, Canada, have arrested 29-year-old Kanwarjyot Singh Manoria of Brampton for allegedly issuing death threats against Mayor Patrick Brown and his family.
In late June 2025, Peel Regional Police were notified that the mayor and his family had received threats. As a precaution, enhanced security measures were provided to ensure their safety while the matter was investigated.

The threats were sent through email, while early investigation revealed that the emails came from Sweden, however, it was later found out that they originated in Canada itself. The emails were merely routed through Sweden, in an attempt to conceal the perpetrator's identity, as per media reports.
On July 15, Manoria was arrested and charged after warrants were procured and electronic devices were seized.
Manoria has been charged with 'uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm'.
In a statement issued by Peel Regional Police, they said that "Manoria was held in custody pending a bail hearing at the Ontario Court of Justice in Brampton”.
The police added, "At this time, investigators believe the individual acted alone and is no longer an active threat to the mayor, his family or the community."
Reacting to the arrest, Mayor Brown shared a news report related to the arrest and said, "My family and I wish to express our deepest appreciation to Peel Regional Police and Officers from 22 Division Criminal Investigation Bureau for their work. We are relieved to learn they have apprehended an individual who allegedly made threats against us."
He added, "Violence and threats of violence have no place in a democracy. I am grateful for the opportunity to serve the citizens of Brampton, and threats will not deter me from doing the job they elected me to do."
