Region of Peel: A 22-year-old resident of Brampton Surajdeep Singh was murdered on Au- gust 13 on a pathway in the area of Queen Mary Drive and Heathwood Drive in Brampton. Investigators from the Homicide and Missing Persons Bureau have charged a 16-year-old male youth in the unprovoked attack and murder. Under the Youth Criminal Justice Act, the identity of the suspect cannot be revealed or released. Emergency services received a call for a medical assist for an unconscious man just a short walk away from Gurdwara Sikh Sangat. When officers arrived on the scene a man was located showing obvious signs of trauma and was transported to a local hospital with vital signs absent. He was pro- nounced deceased at the hospital. “Surajdeep Singh was a young man with a bright future. He was simply trying to return to his residence from his place of worship, when he was the victim of an unprovoked attack that tragically took him away from his family” said Martin Ottaway, Superintendent in charge of Investigative Services. Surajdeep Singh moved to Canada from India three years ago and was “working hard to make something of his life,” his cousin Chandandeep Singh told CTV News Toronto. He worked part- time at a factory in Peel Region and was planning to return to Montreal to continue his studies. “He was very religious. He was very into God. From work he used to go to gurdwara and then after gurdwara he used to come home the same way,” his cousin said. Surajdeep Singh’s parents live in India. His body will be flown there for funeral services once released by police. www.WeeklyVoice.com community Friday, August 21, 2020 | A-11 Finch LRT Project Tackles Tree Removal By Erika D’Urbano, Metrolinx senior advisor, Rapid Transit

ORANGE, Calif.: Hyperion, a Southern California technology company specializing in hydrogen generation, storage and propulsion, today unveiled the XP-1 prototype via video. This is the first chapter of the company’s long-term vision to harness electric energy with hydrogen technology. Hyperion’s striking inaugu- ral vehicle is the culmination of nearly 10 years of development, testing, and research in hydrogen technology by over 200 research- ers and scientists. Aimed at eliminating range anxiety compared to other elec- trics, the XP-1 features an impressive 1,000-mile range – this allows drivers the freedom to travel long distances with peace of mind. Thanks to hydrogen storage technology within the vehicle, the XP-1 can be recharged in less than five minutes at public stations. The vehicle stores electric energy via fuel cell systems ver- sus heavy lithium ion batteries, providing all the benefits of electric motors found in traditional electric vehicles, without the added weight, extended charging times, battery degradation and cost prohibitive recyclability. “The XP-1 was partially designed to function as an edu- four wheels via powerful motors. on the street and at the track.

Mumbai,: The latest music video of dancer- actress Nora Fatehi is drawing attention for the un- canny resemblance it bears with a song of pop star Beyonce. Nora’s new video is for the female version of “Pachtaoge”. In the video, the Bollywood dancing sensation is seen in an all-white outfit, with background dancers dressed in nude-coloured outfits. The set-up bears a resemblance with the music video of Beyonce’s 2013 song, “Mine”, which featured in her album, “Beyonce”. In the “Mine” video, the American superstar is seen in similar all-white outfit and dancers dressed in various shades of browns. The anonymous Instagram account, Dietsabya called out the similarity, sharing videos of both the songs. “@tseries.official out here stealing from THE QUEEN. Guts on! Top: @beyonce MINE; bottom: @norafatehi in PACHTAOGE,” the clips were captioned. The female version of “Pachtaoge” is sung by As- ees Kaur and it was unveiled last week.
