Kal Dosanjh, a Vancouver police officer, anti-gang supporter, and CEO of a youth charity, has been charged with theft, fraud, and breach of trust related to incidents from 2017.
On Thursday, Dosanjh was taken into custody following his arrest.
Documents outlining the charges indicate that he faces several counts of fraud exceeding $5,000, along with theft charges over the same amount.
The sworn document from Thursday specifies that these charges are connected to alleged fraudulent activities and theft from investors involved in various property development projects.
Among these projects are Azura, Queen’s Park, and Sahara.
The purported offences took place between January 13, 2017, and October 31, 2024, with Sarabjit Singh Gill named as a co-defendant.

According to documents from the B.C. Supreme Court, both men are identified as partners in several property development projects, which have faced numerous civil lawsuits.
Both have denied any wrongdoing in these matters.
Additionally, Dosanjh is charged with two counts of fraud over $5,000 and theft from the KidsPlay Youth Foundation, a charity he established in 2015.
These alleged crimes are said to have occurred between December 8, 2017, and July 25, 2025, as per the document.
He also faces a single count of breach of trust as a public officer.

On Thursday afternoon, both plain-clothes and uniformed officers from the VPD were observed taking boxes out of a home identified as Dosanjh’s residence in court filings.
Dosanjh has been a member of the VPD for over 20 years.
In 2015, he launched the KidsPlay Youth Foundation, a charity aimed at “keeping B.C. children away from a life of crime.”
Dosanjh has made numerous media appearances as the charity’s CEO, with the non-profit frequently organizing sports events to involve youth in community initiatives.
Alliance Lawyers in Langley, the law firm representing Dosanjh, issued a statement to CBC News asserting that it is “unjust to make assumptions” based on their client’s reported arrest.
The statement emphasized, “Mr. Dosanjh has committed no crime and is innocent of any wrongdoing.”
Furthermore, it noted, “An arrest or a report of an arrest does not serve as proof of guilt, misconduct, or criminal liability.”
