Peel Police seek additional information in ongoing criminal fraud investigation into Raj Grewal & RSG Law after multiple complaints

Peel Police announced Friday, October 9, that its fraud detectives are seeking more information from the public to help with a criminal investigation into RSG Law, the firm founded by Raj Grewal.

“Peel Regional Police has received multiple complaints from members of the public and information from regulatory bodies regarding the conduct of lawyers operating under RSG Law, located in Mississauga.”

Peel Police “investigators launched a criminal investigation into allegations of fraud and breach of trust” following the complaints.

“The investigation remains ongoing, and investigators believe there may be additional victims who have not yet come forward.

“Investigators are particularly interested in speaking with anyone who believes they may have suffered a financial loss or may have information relevant to the investigation.”

The criminal investigation follows dozens of lawsuits and other legal actions against Grewal and RSG Law since April alleging conspiracy, fraud, forgery, the illegal movement of money and the use of counterfeit cheques.

Peel Police’s Fraud Bureau began its own fraud and breach of trust investigation in July.

Raj Grewal, a lawyer and former Brampton MP who left politics following a gambling scandal, is a subject of dozens of lawsuits and legal actions against him and the Mississauga-based firm he founded, RSG Law.

The Pointer reported last week that Grewal was recently sued by his father-in-law for allegedly authorizing illegal transactions involving a business owned by Grewal’s wife’s father.

Kailash Kasal served Grewal with a suit on September 17, which has been filed with Ontario’s Superior Court of Justice Commercial List. He is pursuing legal action against his son-in-law alleging Raj Grewal made “negligent or fraudulent” representations that his father-in-law was backing loans Grewal took out against Kasal’s Chatham-Kent truck stop business.

Kasal alleges documentation used by Grewal to take out the loans in Kasal’s name was not signed or in any way authorized by him and he had no idea that Grewal had done so without his knowledge.

Kasal swore an affidavit for the case on September 25.

"The signatures purported to be mine at Exhibit 'HHH' are not mine and any email address associated with the Docusign signatures is not mine. Furthermore, the one ink signature of Vinod Kasal, who is my wife, is a clear forgery. My wife is not involved in any of these businesses and I have confirmed with her and do verily believe that she was never asked to sign anything nor is the signature purporting to be hers, her signature," Kasal swore.

"I believe that all of the other evidence contained in the Blanc Affidavit clearly points to Raj Grewal being behind these mortgage documents that purport to be connected to me and/or my companies.

"I am already having difficulty holding my lending relationships together, which thus far is premised upon the fact that I have no connection to this fraud perpetrated by Raj Grewal and others and that I am a victim of the fraud."

Grewal’s lawyer did not respond to questions.

Three weeks ago, The Pointer reported Grewal has also been sued in a case involving two well known GTA Gurdwaras that were used to take out $15 million in loans while the former politician was sinking in debt.

The Sikh Spiritual Centre Toronto, commonly called the Etobicoke Gurdwara, and Brampton’s Nanaksar Gurdwara are also named as defendants in the lawsuit, along with the man who is the president of both, Amarjit Singh Deol, and a man named Gurmail Singh Nirman, who is listed as the treasurer and director of the Sikh Spiritual Centre Toronto.

The Pointer’s coverage of Raj Grewal and RSG Law:

According to court documents for about two dozen lawsuits Grewal and RSG Law are facing, the former politician, companies he controlled and family members intertwined with some of Grewal’s real estate transactions were more than $200 million in debt when the Gurdwaras were used to secure the $15 million loan.

The lawsuit filed September 4 was brought by two linked Hamilton-based private lenders that are connected to Grewal through other real estate and mortgage transactions that led to some of the lawsuits he and the law firm he founded are facing.

According to the lawsuit, SSMT Management Inc. and Oculus Mortgage GP Inc. agreed to provide $15 million in loans last year that were guaranteed by Grewal against both of the Gurdwaras.

Interest-only payments on the $15 million loan were missed when the rate was 24 percent (300,000 monthly), and since May more than $1.5 million in interest alone has not been paid.

According to the lawsuit Grewal is responsible for the entire amount of the loan, plus the missed payments.

It is unclear what was done with the roughly $12.5 million the two private lenders provided to the borrowers, toward the $15 million total of the loan that was agreed to in the spring of 2025.

It appears that RSG Law might have provided money for the last payment that was received by the lenders in April. In a separate case involving approximately $6 million in counterfeit cheques that were deposited by a lawyer who worked for Raj Grewal at RSG Law, once the majority of those fraudulent funds were eventually transferred to RSG’s trust account, a wire payment in the amount of $250,000 was immediately made from the RSG Law trust account to the RBC account of the Sikh Spiritual Centre Toronto on April 14, this year.

The lawsuit alleges that in May of last year, RSG Law, which was representing the borrowers after the $15 million loan was negotiated, failed to register the charge against the Nanaksar Gurdwara in Brampton: “the Borrowers and their counsel failed and refused to provide the necessary deliveries to permit registration of the charge,” the lawsuit alleges.

It alleges RSG Law is “the subject of allegations concerning over a dozen civil lawsuits and a criminal investigation by Peel Regional Police, alleging misappropriation of trust funds totalling in excess of $200 million, unauthorized registration and discharge of mortgage charges, and failure to transfer mortgage funds to lenders.”

The Law Society of Ontario moved to suspend Grewal, warning that he poses a severe “risk of harm to members of the public and to the administration of justice.”

On July 10, when the Law Society brought forward its motion to suspend Grewal’s licence to practice law, it stated that based on its ongoing investigations 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.”

Grewal had to agree that until a Law Society Tribunal hearing is conducted he will not perform any activities as a lawyer.

The lawsuit against him involving the Gurdwaras alleges the loan Grewal signed for against the Nanaksar Gurdwara in Brampton, still has not been registered against the property, even though most of the money provided by the plaintiffs, $12.5 million, was received after the agreement was signed in the spring of 2025.

Some of the other lawsuits and legal actions against Grewal and RSG Law involve home sales and purchases, and allegations that money that was supposed to be transferred to banks as part of the real estate transactions was never sent by RSG Law. In some cases it is alleged that Grewal and RSG Law used counterfeit cheques that were given to financial institutions.

Grewal and RSG Law are also being sued by the banks.

Peel Police is asking the public to contact its Fraud Bureau at: 905 453-2121 ext. 3335.
