An Indian-origin man in Canada has been arrested and charged with stabbing to death a gangster.
Jimi Sandhu, 24, was arrested in Vancouver and charged with second-degree murder in connection with the killing of Matthew Campbell, a high-ranking member of the Red Scorpions gang.
Campbell was stabbed on January 2 at a mall in Abbotsford, British Columbia. He was taken to hospital where he died of his injuries.
According to reports, Campbell took over leadership of the Red Scorpions after the fall of his close friends, the Bacon brothers.

Sandhu is also known to have a criminal record, the paper said.
