According to the reports, the local police described this as hate and a ‘bias-motivated incident’. “Someone defaced the statue with ‘graphic words,’ including ‘rapist’ and ‘Khalistan,” said Constable Amy Boudreau, spokesperson for York Regional Police.

“We recognize that community-wide impact of hate crimes is far-reaching and we do vigorously investigate all occurrences of hate crimes and any hate bias incidents,” she added.

The nine-foot high bronze statue was made in Delhi and unveiled in May 1988.
