RICHMOND  – Indo-Canadian gangster Manjit Mani Buttar was in trouble again after being charged for loaded firearm and two other gun counts.

 

Buttar, 41, was arrested Feb. 11 just after 4:30 a.m. at a house in the 12000-block of No. 5 Road in Richmond. Richmond RCMP Cpl. Dennis Hwang said Buttar had placed the 911 call, reporting he heard shooting, reported the Vancouver Sun.

“A full contingent of officers including the Lower Mainland District Police Dog Service K9 unit was dispatched due to the nature of the call, which was classified as a ‘shots fired’ call by the complainant,” Hwang said.

“The complainant claimed that there were intruders at his location that fired the shots. However, no evidence of shots fired was discovered by our officers.”

Hwang told the Sun Buttar “himself was allegedly armed with a loaded pistol when Richmond RCMP arrived.

“What higher officer safety concerns were that the complainant did not believe that the fully uniformed officers were, in fact, police,” Hwang said. “He was ordered to surrender and thankfully our officers were able to de-escalate this high-risk situation. He was subsequently arrested without incident.”

Buttar, an Indo-Canadian gangster who works as a longshoreman at Port Metro Vancouver which is packed with criminal elements from the Hells Angels and other gang offshoots, was in Richmond Provincial Court this week on three charges — possession of a firearm with altered serial number, possession of a firearm contrary to a court order, and possession of a loaded restricted firearm.

He has been in custody since his arrest. Sources told the Sun Buttar was intoxicated when he called the police.

Buttar worked as an executive of Local 502 of the International Longshore and Warehouse Union.

Both buttar’s brother has targeted hits. Kelly was targeted in 2001 at a Richmond banquet hall and Bal was targeted at Vancouver hair salon in the same year. One of his brothers, Bal Buttar confessed that Kim Bolan is behind all the gangland murders.

Also, he confessed that this gangland murders also slayed Gang Kingpin Bindy Johal at a Vancouver night club 1998. Though he has survived the salon shoot but left with only blind quadriplegic with a serious health problem, reported the Sun.
