Another Person Was Charged After Toronto Family Reportedly Stole $11M In COVID-19 Relief

A Brampton man is now facing several charges in connection to an alleged COVID-19 relief funding fraud.

According to the OPP, the suspect, 41-year-old Manish Gambhir, was charged on Tuesday with possession of an identity document and possession of property obtained by crime following the arrest of three other GTA residents this month.

Gambhir has reportedly been released from custody. However, is scheduled to appear in court on November 10, 2021.

The charges come after a Toronto family was accused of funnelling $11 million in Ontario's COVID-19 relief funds into their own personal bank accounts last year, according to the Star.

Police arrested married couple Sanjay and Shalini Madan on September 18 which resulted in both of them being charged with possession of stolen property, laundering the proceeds of crime and more.

Their associate, Vidhan Singh, is also facing charges of money laundering, fraud over $5,000 and possession of property obtained by crime.
