Ahmedabad, Sept. 17 -- Canadian authorities have reportedly arrested Fenil Patel in connection with the deaths of the Patel family from Dingucha village who froze to death while attempting to cross the US-Canada border in January 2022, officials aware of the development said on Tuesday. Fenil Patel was arrested on September 5 based on an extradition request from the United States, a media relations official of the Canadian Justice Department, Kwame Bonsu, said in an email. He had been living in a Toronto suburb and was accused of coordinating the Canadian arm of the smuggling operation that led to deaths of the Dingucha family. The US court documents based on an affidavit filed by Special Agent Manuel Jimenez with the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois on February 22, 2022, revealed that Fenil Patel was identified as a key facilitator in Canada who arranged the trip for the family. Investigations by US Homeland Security showed that Rajinder Singh, a facilitator in the United States, specifically named Fenil Kumar Patel as the person in Canada who coordinated the journey that ended in tragedy on January 19, 2022. The case has connections to another man, Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel, known as 'Dirty Harry', from Indrad village in Mehsana district of Gujarat. Harshkumar Ramanlal Patel was in May this year sentenced to 10 years in prison by a US court for his role in the smuggling operation. Phone records showed 'Dirty Harry' made approximately 200 calls and texts with Steve Shand, the Florida man who was arrested while attempting to transport Indian nationals near the US-Canada border. The victims were 39-year-old Jagdish Patel, his 37-year-old wife Vaishali, their 11-year-old daughter Vihangi, and three-year-old son Dharmik from Dingucha village in Kalol taluka of Gandhinagar district. The family died just few meters away from the US border in temperatures of minus 35degC....
