Her Intention was to get Immigration through marriage

Sukhwinder Singh Dhami, who became a victim of marriage fraud, came from Calgary and he belongs to village Singriwal, Distt. Hoshiarpur back in India. The people who know this 30 year old man they vow that he is a gentleman. The people who know him say that forget about the drugs this gentleman does not even drink tea. Sukhwinder who is also known by his nick name Sukhi came to Canada with his parents in 1995.

During this time Sukhi arranged to erect a gate in the memory of his loving wife in his village back in India. The person who was in charge of this project his name is Navtej Singh Rubi, according to Sukhi. He told Sukhi about the sister-in-law of his brother-in-law. Sukhi told Navtej that he wanted to clear everything with her upfront. Every option was discussed and Navtej Singh Rubi who is a baptized Sikh took the full responsibility to make sure that Sukhi will get everything out of the relationship he wants. Sukhi decided to leave his daughter in his new wife’s village Chugge Kalan Distt. Moga with her so they get to know each other and learn to live together with love, and he came back to Canada. After Sukhi sponsored his wife Surinder Kaur Malli, who belongs to the first Sikh Canadian MP Mr. Gurbax Singh Malli’s village, she arrived in Vancouver, Canada on July 25, 2005. One of Surinder’s sister lives in Clgary. Surinder suggested to Sukhi that if they live in Calgary it will be better for them. They moved to Calgary according to Sukhi. The story took a turn for the worst here. He told the media that everything was OK until Halloween. But he has to face many difficulties after that. Sometime he will be tauted that he belongs to a different rural area in Punjab, sometimes of being too tall, sometime of being seven year older than his wife, sometimes even having a daughter from previous marriage. She also accused Sukhi that he does not want a child with her. But according to Sukhi his wife herself suggested that they will have a child together when Sukhi’s daughter grows up. Also she started to say that Sukhi’s first wife is haunting her. To get cure for this Sukhi took his wife back to India, and according to him he spent about eight or nine thousand dollars on this trip. According to him if he had any bad intentions why whould he have taken her back to India to get better? He says that he wanted to live a happy life with his daughter and new wife. He also told his wife that she doesn’t have to worry about getting a job she should look after his daughter and he will work hard to provide to the family. But his wife had other plans; she also changed her behaviour toward his daughter whose name is Gagan.

One day Sukhi’s wife said that her sister Paramjit is trying to ruin his married life so we will move back to Vancouver from here. And she can also look after her mother and father-in-law. According to Sukhi when they were leaving in the car her sister phoned her. He is unaware of the conversation but after the phone call Surinder told him to turn the car around and drop her off at her sister’s house and that she doesn’t want to live with me. Sukhi informed the police that his wife is living with her sister, and under these circumstances if some thing bad happens to her he will not be responsible for that. Sukhi told the whole story to the police officer but Surinder blamed Sukhi that he was taking her against her will to Vancouver. But after the police’s investigation she agreed that she was going by her own will. Sukhi is very upset by all this and blames Surinder’s sister for all of this. He approached the media to bring the whole matter to life. He also reported to the immigration department. He is also thinking to hire a lawyer to go to the court. He also blames Surinder for taking his money. When Sukhi told the whole story to his in-laws they didn’t do anything either. When he told the person who was the mediator for this wedding he told Sukhi to get marry somewhere else. According to Sukhi his parents and his sisters tried to make Surinder understand and to come back to live with him, bull in vain. Sukhi said that Surinder had the bracelet and two rings that were given to him by his in-laws at the wedding time, along with all the jewelry that was given to her from my family. Sukhi told that she confessed to the police officer that she had Sukhi’s passport and P.R. Card. She also threatened Sukhi that Ramuwalia is their family friend and he can straighten Sukhi.

Sukhwinder Singh Dhami showed the letter from the Calgary police to the office of this newspaper in which police told that Sukhwinder is a victim of the domestic dispute and he should seek counseling for that. He will be informed if the police decide to lay charges against his wife.

When we phoned Surinder to know her side of the story, her sister Paramjit answered the phone and said that Surinder has gone to school and will phone us back when she comes home. We gave her the phone number and the fax number.

Later Surinder faxed to this newspaper stating that Sukhwinder used to beat her up and he is a very suspicious person. She also blames Sukhi that he used to day that his previous wife is hauting her so he wanted to take her to India so she could have hysterectomy. She also blamed him that he did not work at all and he was taking her forcefully to Vancouver. He also threatened her that will fix her there. She also stated that Sukhi bit her up in the car and also pulled her hair. Surinder said that Sukhi used to beat her so much that she is still scared. According to Surinder, Sukhi dropped her in front of her sister’s house and ran away. Later he filed a police report that I had broken his car window. Surinder said that she had no intentions of getting divorce and she is still waiting for him to come back to her. She said that he has her passport and P.R. card.

On other hand Sukhi said that all this a white lie. If she has been waiting for me then why hasn’t she called me? Sukhi said she has confessed to police about the beatings that it was a lie and she also confessed that she filed a police report because her sister Paramjit told her to. Sukhi said that I never touched her and I did get married on the condition that she will help me raise my daughter. And she said herself that shed doesn’t want her own child yet. He also said that about our visit you can verify with the Saint we went to get her cured. The saint could tell you if it was me or her who was being haunting my dead wife. Sukhi said that she has confess to her the police she had her passport and P.R.Card.

Sukhi says that Surinder married just a purpose of getting immigration in Canada. She called him many times to file divorce so she can go back and get marry someone else. Surinder’s sister did same thing to her husband about 4 years ago, and left him after coming in Canada. If her sister had been removed from this country as she committed a fraud, then Surinder would never have repeated this story again. Sukhi says immigration law is very soft on the sponsored spouse but it is very tough on the sponsor.
