Sukhvinder Kaur Sangha, 47, a former Punjabi media figure, was sentenced to a bargain basement 5½ years for smuggling 108 kg of meth across the U.S. border in a rental car.
On October 21, 2021 at Pacific Crossing in Surrey, Sangha rolled up claiming to have been at an aunt’s funeral in Washington. Flagged for secondary, she drove away at high speed. CBSA pursued and she was nailed. Four duffel bags containing 108kg of high purity meth in the trunk of her car sealed the deal.
Justice John Gibb-Carsley rejected her claims of coercion. She claimed unknown thugs threatened to kill her son. Texts showed that was bullshit, with calm planning of prior runs. Calling her a “trusted, willing participant,” the judge dismissed her claims of remorse.
