ANIRUDH BHATTACHARYYA / HINDUSTAN TIMES By Nicholas Keung Immigration reporter Wed., June 7, 2017 The federal government is admitting border officials made a mistake when a retired anti-insurgency officer from India was deemed inadmissible to Canada and denied entry. Immigration officials subsequently confirmed the person as Tejinder Singh Dhillon. Canada border officials explained the refusal by indicating on a form letter that the 67-year-old had served a government that engages or has engaged in terrorism, human rights violations, crime against humanity or genocide. Dhillon, a retired senior officer with the Central Reserve Police Force CRPF India's largest paramilitary force under the home affairs ministry, was refused admission in May at the Vancouver airport on the way to his niece's wedding in Toronto.
