Arjun Purewal was arrested on Tuesday, September 20, by IHIT investigators following a search of Surrey residence in relation to a Richmond homicide investigation.
A Canada-wide warrant had been issued by Coquitlam RCMP on August 26, 2022, when Purewal had illegally removed an ankle monitor.
Purewal was awaiting sentencing in connection to a Vancouver Police Department (VPD) investigation into a kidnapping which occurred in Richmond in September 2021.
During the course of its investigation, IHIT located Purewal at the Surrey residence as part of an ongoing investigation into a 2021 Richmond homicide, says Corporal Alexa Hodgins of Coquitlam RCMP.
Purewal was taken into custody by IHIT investigators where he remains pending a court appearance.
