There has been no whisper whatsoever about Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. The Sandher crime family is on borrowed time.
Randhawa had another bail hearing scheduled for March 28, 2025, his 5th. Its possible the matter was removed from the list because he did not appear. If that happened it suggests a deal has been struck putting Randhawa into witness protection. We expect high profile fentanyl busts, eventually. Gurtaj Singh Sandher has many reasons to worry. His time is surely running out.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa must have realized that ratting everyone out is his only way of staying alive.
Randhawa is the only man charged in the Falkland lab bust, the largest drug lab in Canadian history. Randhawa is in serious jeopardy, and if released he is a large hit target. Randhawa must be silenced. There is no way the Sinaloa Cartel and Edgar Watson can allow Randhawa to bust upper management. See ----->Falkland Lab Bust

The Randhawa brothers in Vernon are connected to the Sandhers. Palwinder Randhawa (palwinder1980@hotmail.com) and Kabal Randhawa touted Sandher in the press on Sept 9, 2024. They are orchardists at 7467 Baker Hogg Road in Vernon. "The closure of BC Tree Fruits was scary for our family farm. Growing fruit these days is challenging and losing our packing and distribution partner made things even harder," said Kabal Randhawa of Randhawa orchards. "The kindness shown by Sandher Fruit Packers has given me hope that we can get through this." The Randhawas last produced a miniscule 400 bins with BCTF. That may be less than 5 acres.
The Randhawas are collecting $13,898 from taxpayers to 'provide a youth with some work experience in the agriculture and agri-food sector.' Here

The haul of drugs from the Falkland superlab was destined for Australia and New Zealand. Australia is one of the most lucrative markets in the world for meth. Prices can reach $185k per kilo.
The B.C. director of civil forfeiture filed a forfeiture claim January 31, 2025 against the property at 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland, and equipment including a mass spectrometer, a gas chromatograph, an industrial power generator, a trailer and a flat deck. The Sandhers leased the ground from Michael Driehuyzen. Sandher lawyer Bert Tonsoo (rtonsoo@bensonlawllp.com) drafted the lease agreement.
Named in the claim are Michael Driehuyzen and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. Driehuyzen had nothing to say, and told Global News to contact his lawyer.
Criminal defence lawyer Joel Whysall isn't talking either. He does say Driehuyzen's Charter rights were violated. joel@mwcrimlaw.com
In 2015 and 2016 cops busted pot grow ops at the property.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa did not appear March 28, 2025 for his 5th bail hearing. He has been caged since he was busted in October.
The lab was a part of the Lyons/Sandher/Sinaloa Cartel operation.
The bust was announced October 25, 2024. Haul was 390kg of meth, 54kg of fentanyl, 35kg of cocaine and 15kg of MDMA. The Falkland drug lab was connected to the Sept, 2024 seizure of 30 tonnes of precursors in Enderby.
The B.C. director of civil forfeiture filed a claim against the property at 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland, as well as the various pieces of lab equipment on January 31, 2025. Named in the claim are property owner Michael Driehuyzen and Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. The claim notes that in 2015 and 2016 cops busted grow ops at the property. The Langley fentanyl lab bust and North Vernon lab bust were also Sandhers. More lab busts are likely.
The Falkland lab was visited by Sinaloa boss Edgar Watson, and KTF brass including Bir Singh Sandher, Gurjit Singh Jhajj and interim KTF boss Arsh Dalla before commissioning. Gurtaj Singh Sandher was at the lab.
Sami El-Helou handled payment for the purchase of precursors. Those came through the HAMC and the Pig Puncher at DeltaPort.

The entire KTF/Sinaloa Cartel operation is being shuttered. More labs are suspected. Cop information could only have come from informed insiders, associates of the executed Donny Lyons.
Michael Driehuyzen bought the 163-acre lab property on 5011 Hoath Road in Falkland in May 2007 for $655k. It was used for an illegal grow op for years. He now lives on a chicken farm on Downes Road in Abbotsford owned by a Kamloops poultry company. Driehuyzen claims full ignorance. The Sandhers leased the ground from Driehuyzen. Sandher lawyer Bert Tonsoo (rtonsoo@bensonlawllp.com) drafted the lease agreement. The string of Sandher/KTF/Sinaloa lab busts now stands at 3 labs plus the storage facility in Enderby.
RCMP raided a property in Enderby in Sept 2024 and seized over 30,000 kg of precursor chemicals. The 2.6-hectare property was purchased in May 2023 by 2735152 Ontario for $1m. It's Ottawa address is a Mexican restaurant. Workers there claim ignorance of the company or owner Osman Ghazie. The Sandhers were in partnership in the synthetic drug business with Donnie Lyons.
Prabtaj Singh Sandher and Gurtaj Singh Sandher are prime suspects in the murder of Donnie Lyons on June 15, 2024. The hit was ordered by Edgar Watson with Sami El-Helou. Final approval came from Chapito Ivan Archivaldo Guzman.
89 guns were seized in raids in Surrey Oct. 25.
Included are .50 cal sniper rifles, 45 handguns, 21 AR-15-style rifles and submachine guns.
Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa is facing multiple drug and weapons charges. Randhawa is a Jat clan found in the Punjab region of India and Pakistan. Palwinder Randhawa and Kabal Randhawa of Randhawa orchards in Vernon touted the Sandhers in the press on Sept 9. "The kindness shown by Sandher Fruit Packers has given me hope that we can get through this." The Randhawas sold 400 bins through BCTF, a trivial amount. (palwinder1980@hotmail.com)
Cleaning up the lab cost taxpayers over $500k. The setup was as sophisticated as any cops have ever seen. It mass produced fentanyl, meth and MDMA, most of which was destined for Australia and New Zealand. Several tons of unregulated chemicals used to produce P2P (phenyl-2-propanone) were seized. Seen for the first time in Western Canada, P2P is a Class A scheduled precursor essential to the manufacture of meth.
There is nothing new to be found regarding the only man busted in the Falkland bust, the largest drug lab in Canadian history. Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa apparently had a bail hearing, and if the presumed innocent Randhawa was released, he is a huge hit target. There is no way the Sinaloa Cartel and Edgar Watson can allow Randhawa to bust the entire operation. His life isn't worth $.02.
Edgar Watson
Randhawa must be silenced. If semi-intelligent, he would become a cooperating witness and enter the RCMP witness protection program. That is the only way he will remain alive. He had a court appearance November 14. Nothing has been heard since.
Folks need to ponder this photo before dismissing it. First appearances can be deceiving. Press in Indian offered it as the face of Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa. Randhawa, 32, is from Jalandhar in Punjab. He faces 7 drug and weapons charges including explosives. Gaganpreet Singh Randhawa was 23 in 2016 when he was busted in Burnaby for a dial-a-dope. He was sentenced to 90 days in jail and handed a 10-year firearms ban in 2017.
Randhawa orchards in Vernon touted the Sandhers in the press on September 9.
