Criminal investigation into Raj Grewal and law firm he founded underway as more damning lawsuits are filed
Civil cases filed with the Ontario Superior Court against Raj Grewal and RSG Law, the firm he founded, include thousands of pages of affidavits, exhibit materials and other pieces of evidence in support of dozens of fraud allegations against the former Brampton MP and RSG Law amounting to hundreds of millions of dollars in claims.
Grewal and RSG lawyer Davinder Khattra could also face criminal charges.
Former clients of RSG Law and lawyers representing plaintiffs have confirmed that a police investigation is underway.
“The matters pleaded herein have also been reported to, and are the subject of investigation by, the Peel Regional Police Fraud Bureau,” a recently filed lawsuit against Raj Grewal, Khattra and RSG Law highlights. “The Plaintiffs plead these investigations in support of the seriousness of the conduct,” the suit, which seeks $17 million for breach of trust, breach of fiduciary duty, civil fraud and deceit, conversion, negligence, and breach of contract, alleges.
The lawsuit was filed to the Ontario Superior Court of Justice Commercial List July 3 by Balkar Singh Chhetre and Surjit Singh, alleging RSG Law failed to deliver a $4.2 million trust cheque to the Royal Bank of Canada (RBC) even though Khattra directed the bank to discharge and close the associated mortgage in November. Then, in February, when the plaintiffs contacted RSG Law about the missing $4.2 million transfer, Khattra claimed the money had been given to RBC. The suit includes other allegations of fraud involving mortgage transactions and states the $4.2 million, as of at least July 3, still had not been given to RBC, despite Khattra’s claims that the funds had been forwarded to the bank.
The lawsuit alleges Raj Grewal is the key person behind the disturbing behaviour.
“The Defendant, Rajvinder (Raj) Grewal is, and was at all material times, a lawyer, the principal, founder and a controlling mind of RSG Law. Grewal acted as the supervising lawyer on the…refinancing transaction and communicated directly with (the plaintiffs).”
A series of recent legal filings in separate matters against Grewal and RSG Law show activity directed by the courts to freeze assets, order sworn disclosure, and, according to the claims, referring matters to police and the Law Society of Ontario, which governs lawyers in the province.
Many of the cases are being handled by Ontario Superior Court Justice Fred Myers and he has in recent months expressed his growing frustration with RSG Law.
A June 22 order by Myers in another case involving missing mortgage transaction funds, warned that, “If you, the defendants, RSG Law Professional Corporation and Davinder Singh Khattra (collectively, the 'Defendants') disobey this order you may be held to be in contempt of court and may be imprisoned, fined or have your assets seized.”
The lawsuit filed July 3 by Balkar Singh Chhetre and Surjit Singh, refers to ongoing investigations circling RSG Law: “The Law Society of Ontario has appointed a forensic auditor and investigator, of the Law Society’s Investigation Services, to investigate the conduct of RSG Law and Khattra.”
Peel Police did not respond to questions about its investigation, which is also highlighted in the lawsuit.
Both Grewal and Khattra have received notices of motions by the LSO to the Law Society Tribunal of upcoming hearings that could see their legal licence suspended and lead to further criminal investigations.
“The Law Society is conducting investigations into the respondent’s conduct regarding allegations that he (Grewal): May have misappropriated and/or misapplied trust monies or monies imposed with a trust; May have knowingly participated in, facilitated or otherwise failed to prevent dishonesty, fraud, crime or illegal conduct; May have misled; May have failed to act with honour and integrity.” (The LSO notice regarding Khattra’s alleged behaviour includes the same wording.)
According to the notices, the action to possibly suspend Grewal and Khattra is necessary due to “a significant risk of harm to members of the public, or to the public interest in the administration of justice”.
A lawyer representing the LSO told The Pointer Monday that Grewal’s hearing has been scheduled for August 14, a date for Khattra’s hearing has not yet been set.
The July 3 statement of claim by Balkar Singh Chhetre and Surjit Singh lays out two alleged schemes.
Regarding the $4.2 million that RSG Law was supposed to transfer to the Royal Bank of Canada, months of shifting excuses followed the initial false claims that the funds had been transacted, the lawsuit alleges: A wire supposedly “flagged by TD,” a reference to “ongoing issues with Scotiabank” and repeated promises that the money would move “next week” or be “wrapped up by Monday” were among the claims made by RSG Law after the missing funds were flagged by the plaintiffs.
The suit also alleges Surjit Singh’s signature was forged on mortgage paperwork, and that Khattra himself witnessed the forged signature registering more than $13 million in bogus mortgage charges against a Mississauga commercial property.
The lawsuit underscores that these facts have already been reported to the Law Society of Ontario’s Investigation Services and the Peel Police Fraud Unit.
Khattra did not respond to questions about the allegations in the statement of claim. None of its allegations have been proven in court. Grewal also did not respond to questions.
A separate lawsuit, Sellers v. RSG Law Professional Corporation and Davinder Singh Khattra, alleges a similar pattern of behaviour.
Lindsey and Casey Sellers allege that $837,299.93 of the funds from their October 2025 home purchase was wired to RSG Law’s trust account specifically to pay off and discharge an existing CIBC mortgage on the property, but the payout was never made. On June 22, 2026, the Sellers obtained a Mareva injunction freezing up to $870,000 in RSG Law’s and Khattra’s assets, along with an order compelling a number of banks, including TD, CIBC, BMO, RBC, Scotiabank and National Bank, to hand over records tracing where the money went.
On July 2, Justice Myers extended that freeze after RSG Law and Khattra had not complied with disclosure requirements first ordered on June 22, including a sworn accounting of the missing funds, and full trust ledgers.
A companion endorsement issued that same day, obtained separately by The Pointer, goes further and lays bare how the defendants have responded to the case.
They haven’t.
According to the endorsement by Justice Myers, RSG Law and Khattra did not appear at the July 2 hearing and have not filed any response to the Sellers’ lawsuit. Counsel for the plaintiffs, Renée Brosseau of Dentons Canada LLP, told the court that lawyers who represent the defendants in other similar matters confirmed to her they had not been retained in the case, leaving Justice Myers to conclude that if the defendants somehow still didn’t know about the proceeding, “they were wilfully blind to the materials served upon them.”
With the defendants absent and unresponsive, Justice Myers ordered the asset freeze be extended not just for a limited period, but all the way to trial or a further order of the court. He also ordered a second round of full-indemnity costs against RSG Law and Khattra, on top of the costs awarded from the June 22 hearing, reasoning that a plaintiff “should not be out a dollar to compel a licensed lawyer to comply with his undertakings to provide clear title when provided with funds earmarked to do so.”
A separate court application by The Effort Trust Company, filed on June 11 regarding a property in Burlington owned by Avtar Grewal, Raj Grewal’s father, highlights that: “The principal of RSG Law Professional Corporation ('RSG Law'), Raj Grewal also known as Rajvinder Singh Grewal is subject to a series of criminal, regulatory and civil proceedings pertaining to breach of trust and fraud allegations.”
The Law Society of Ontario has taken steps to suspend the law licence of Raj Grewal and Davinder Khattra.

Legal representatives for RSG Law, Raj Grewal and Khattra did not respond to questions.
Court filings in the last month suggest Raj Grewal’s civil law problems are shifting to criminal investigations facing the former Brampton MP.
The Pointer has been covering the mounting allegations against him since May 14, when it was first learned that RSG Law, the firm he founded, was connected to a multi-million dollar fraud investigation.
Shortly following the story’s publication, RSG Law’s website was effectively deleted, stripped down to a single “Contact Us” page. Grewal’s development company website was taken offline. Raj Grewal then sued The Pointer for $12 million over the reporting.
Shortly after, the Waryah family of Brampton filed a lawsuit against RSG Law and Khattra for breach of fiduciary duty, after alleging the firm failed to properly transfer $714,000 in mortgage proceeds from a home sale.
Raj Grewal was then separately hit with two more lawsuits, which The Pointer reported on June 24, including a $25 million claim over a Brampton property and allegations of fraud in a $1.6 million Oakville land scheme.
On June 30, The Pointer reported Raj Grewal defaulted on a loan and was ordered to hand over two Brampton houses and pay $1.2 million after losing a related lawsuit.
The story also detailed previous allegations in an ongoing case, involving a $5.5 million lawsuit by WIGI Restructured Bond Corporation against Grewal’s father and RSG Law, in which Justice Fred Myers found strong evidence against RSG Law and Khattra.
On July 7, a recent story detailed another lawsuit against RSG Law and Raj Grewal, alleging widespread mortgage fraud and $64 million owed to lenders. The plaintiffs are seeking $137 million.
A separate lawsuit was filed by Toronto law firm Torkin Manes last month alleging Raj Grewal failed to pay for services the firm provided.
