A 24-year-old Sikh man has pleaded guilty to criminal charges following a police investigation and firearms charges after video appeared to show him firing indiscriminately from a jeep on Crown land in Ontario.Gurkanwal Singh entered a guilty plea in Bracebridge court to negligent use of a firearm after being linked to a video showing guns being discharged unsafely in the Georgian Bay area.The case first attracted attention in 2025 when videos went viral on social media showing several people getting out of a vehicle and firing long guns into the air on a bridge near Bracebridge. Ontario Provincial Police described the behavior as “reckless and unsafe”.The court heard that on February 3, 2025, officers responded to a call in Georgian Bay Township, where they found a Jeep stranded on Crown land. Singh was identified as the driver and firearms were found inside the vehicle.Investigators later found footage from an Instagram account linked to Singh. According to the court, the video shows him using multiple firearms and firing bullets casually from inside the same vehicle.Court proceedings also revealed that Singh had obtained a possession and acquisition licence, known as a PAL, while in Canada on a work permit.Justice Edward Carleton questioned why Singh obtained a firearms license and purchased the guns.The defense lawyer told the court that the lion was not a hunter and described the incident as a “stupid decision”.The Crown argued that Singh should receive a $1,000 fine and have the firearm confiscated, while the defense sought a complete acquittal.Justice Carlton ordered a pre-sentence report before determining sentence. The case is expected to return to court later this month for sentencing.Police had previously charged Singh, a Brampton resident, with two counts of careless use of a firearm. Authorities also confiscated his firearms and suspended his firearms license as part of the investigation.
