Peel Regional Police have charged another person involved in the violent demonstration at a Brampton Mandir last weekend.

Police said officers were called Nov. 3 to an altercation at a demonstration on The Gore Rd.

According to police, the protest became physical, with much of the violent behaviour captured on video as people used flags and sticks to assault others.

Cops said one of those involved in the clash was identified earlier in the week and was arrested on Friday.

Inderjeet Gosal, 35, of Brampton, was charged with assault with a weapon.

“A Strategic Investigative Team is dedicated to investigating incidents of criminality during the November 3 and 4 incidents has since been formed,” police said in a news release.

“We would like to remind the public that complex investigations such as these take time and that individuals are arrested as they are identified and in no specific order.”

Police say investigators continue to analyze hundreds of videos of the incidents and are working to identify additional suspects.

They also anticipate more arrests.

Anyone with information is asked to call police at 905-453-2121 ext. 1233 for Mississauga’s 12 Division or 905-453-2121 ext. 2133 for Brampton’s 21 Division.

Investigators are encouraging anyone with video of the incident to submit it to police online.
