Sentencing Hearing For Former Surrey Sikh Temple President Baldev Singh Kalsi

  • Sentencing Hearing For Former Surrey Sikh Temple President Baldev Singh Kalsi

Baldev Singh Kalsi, former president of Gurudwara Sahib Brookside temple, who was charged with attempted murder of his wife, Narinder Kalsi, is facing his sentencing hearing.

 

Kalsi was arrested after his wife was found in severe medical distress at their home pleaded guilty to the crime last year.

 

He was removed as temple president four days later. Subsequently, Kalsi was charged with one count of aggravated assault for incurring life threatening injuries to his wife which was upgraded to attempted murder.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Crown and defence agreed on an 11-year sentence on Friday but could not agree whether he should get 16 months or 21 months credit for time served.

 

Kalsi's defence asked for the lighter sentence because he was beaten while he was in pretrial custody. They argued that he suffered internal bleeding in his brain and that it should be taken into consideration.

 

Court also heard that Kalsi didn’t call paramedics right away, and instead drove to tell a friend his “wife is no more,” was an aggravating factor.
