Jagdish Grewal, founder and editor and editor of Brampton (Canada)-based newspaper “Punjabi Post” was attacked by three masked men armed with a baton and a gun outside the newspaper’s offices, on 23 October.

Mr. Grewal, who also hosts a daily Punjabi radio show, said it is highly probable that the attack was fuelled by his political views.
