SURREY, B.C. — Authorities are investigating a targeted shooting at a home in Surrey’s Newton neighbourhood that occurred early Wednesday morning.

At approximately 4:40 a.m. on May 20, frontline officers with the Surrey Police Service (SPS) responded to reports of gunfire near the intersection of 57 Avenue and 148 Street. Upon arriving at the scene, police found physical evidence of shots fired and visible damage to the exterior of a residence.

The house belonged to the newly elected president of Cricket Canada, Arvinder Khosa, according to a report by CBC.

While the house was occupied at the time, no injuries were reported. CBC noted that at least five bullet holes were visible on the exterior of the home, including the doors and windows. Khosa confirmed the incident to CBC but declined to provide further specifics.

Surrey police are in the early stages of their investigation but suspect the shooting is tied to extortion. Law enforcement officials told CBC that an individual associated with the home had recently been the target of extortion-related threats.

The shooting follows a turbulent period for the national sports organization. Last month, a CBC investigation brought forward allegations of corruption, match-fixing attempts, and the influence of organized crime within Cricket Canada. The report also detailed allegations connecting Khosa to local players who claimed affiliation with the Bishnoi gang and who allegedly threatened a national men's player in 2025. Khosa has firmly denied these allegations, CBC reports.

Khosa formally assumed the presidency on May 9 following the organization's annual general meeting in Mississauga, Ontario. He had previously served as interim president after leading a B.C. Supreme Court petition—driven by concerns over governance and financial oversight—that resulted in a judge ordering a leadership vote, according to CBC. Following his election, Cricket Canada's new vice-president stated that the board had questioned Khosa about the organized crime allegations and received assurances that he had no such police involvement.
