An undercover sting operation has led to the arrest of eight men accused of attempting to obtain sexual services from a minor, Canada’s London Police have confirmed.
The accused — Sukhwant Sing, 22, Sayed Bilal Sadat, 31, Jarnail Singh, 34, Sami Tawil, 27, Mohit Dineshbhai Kanani, 31, Pujan Raut, 31, Ibrahim Abdalmalek, 27, and Omar Attar, 26 — all face one count of communication for the purpose of obtaining sexual services from a person under 18 years.
The two-day investigation, conducted between 28 and 29 October 2025, saw officers pose as minors on an online platform. It is alleged that the men, aged between 22 and 34, knowingly communicated with someone they believed to be under 18.
“In each case, the suspect males were aware that they were communicating with someone believed to be under the age of 18,” police said in a statement.
The operation was led by the Human Trafficking Unit with support from the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP). “Crime knows no boundaries, and neither do our efforts to combat it. Working with other police services and partner organisations strengthens investigations,” police added.
All eight men have been released from custody and are due to appear in court in London between 27 November and 11 December. Police said the sting underscores their commitment to tackling online child exploitation and protecting vulnerable youth.
