Purana Shala villagers in Punjab’s Gurdaspur district Friday rallied outside a gurdwara in support of California truck accident accused and local boy Jashanpreet Singh.
Jashanpreet Singh, 21, has been charged with Driving Under the Influence (DUI) by the US authorities.
Refuting allegations of drug use, Jashanpreet Singh’s father, Ravinder Singh, said at the rally, “He is an Amritdhari Gursikh, someone who has lived by the principles of Sikhism his entire life. He has never consumed drugs – he hasn’t even been near them. These accusations are completely unfounded.”
“We mourn the lives lost in this tragic incident, but our son is not to be blamed for doing drugs. This was simply a terrible accident, and the drug use allegation is not only wrong but damaging,” he added.
“We want justice. We hope the Indian government will work with US authorities to ensure this case is handled with honesty and fairness,” said a local resident.
The crash claimed the lives of three people and left four others injured. The accident also drew attention to issues of safety and regulation surrounding the qualifications for commercial driver’s licences in the US.
Jashanpreet Singh is an alleged illegal immigrant in the US. He was arrested Tuesday (local US time) on charges of gross vehicular manslaughter while intoxicated for smashing his vehicle into slow-moving traffic on a San Bernardino County freeway. Jashanpreet Singh reportedly crossed the southern US border in 2022.
Earlier in August, an Indian immigrant named Harjinder Singh was accused of causing a crash in Fort Pierce, Florida, that killed three people. Harjinder Singh reportedly crossed the southern US border illegally in 2018 and obtained a commercial driver’s licence in California.

“local “boy.”
Only a lad...
to ensure this case is handled with honesty and fairness
Well stop interfering
FUIndian. This is on our turf and our people. India has nothing to do with it and needs to STFU and stay out of it
They are only doing what most parents would do in the same situation.
He was just turning his life around, studying to be a convenience store operator................
How much money was he sending to them ?
Yes he owns it
Tell the Indian government $5,000,000,000.00 dollars and the promise he will continue to drive trucks in INDIA is all it will cost to get him back.
Instead he will cost US millions to house, feed, clothe, and care for him.
US should start insisting on REIMBURSEMENT for the cost of these societal parasites.
They learned the BLM media slogans well
He was a good Sikh boy
He loved his momma
He would never take drugs
He was going to marry his Sikh baby-momma
All the other Sikh neighbors loved his infectious smile and sense of humor
“He has never consumed drugs – he hasn’t even been near them. These accusations are completely unfounded.”
What do the toxicology tests say?
But local boy Din-du-Nuffin, except, you know, mass negligent homicide and destroying four survivors.
Where is Kash Patel in all this? He needs to answer.
From.... “Punjab’s Gurdaspur district”. NOT Covina Ca.
Excitable boy?
Yeah, we see it all the time. "He be a good boy, jus' turnin' his life around, aspiring rap star, gonna go to community college next year. He dindunuffin!"
