Surrey: PICS CEO Satbir Cheema attacked outside office in broad daylight

The Progressive Intercultural Community Services in Surrey, also known as PICS Society, has informed of the attack on its President and CEO Satbir Cheema. The incident took place on August 11 when Cheema was leaving the office at around 5.30pm.

A white pickup truck approached Cheema’s vehicle and a person got out from inside and attacked Cheema with a substance similar to bear spray or pepper spray.

However, Cheema became suspicious of the person who got out of the truck and moved away from him and was able to protect himself from the spray by hiding behind his vehicle. Surveillance footage of the incident has also been shared.

PICS society in a news release said, that two people were apparently waiting for Cheema to leave the office. The perpetrators of the incident immediately left the scene after spraying the substance on Cheema.

Police were immediately informed about the matter and the footage was also provided and the matter is being investigated.

The PICS Society has called the incident a cowardly attack and appealed to elected officials, community leaders and the public to speak out against such violence.
