Eight men from Ontario face 24 charges in a major fraud case involving Class A commercial driver licence exams. The Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) launched a year-long investigation after the Ministry of Transportation raised concerns about cheating during road tests. Police uncovered an alleged bribery scheme where some applicants got unfair help to pass tests for large vehicle licences. "The Serious Fraud Office investigation revealed that bribes were facilitated in exchange for favourable consideration during specific applicants’ road examinations," the OPP said. The accused men come from several cities including Brampton, Oshawa, Georgetown, North York, Caledon and Kingston. Their names and charges are: Jaspal Benipal (58) and Harmandeep Sudan (40) from Brampton, charged with secret commissions and conspiracy. Navdeep Grewal (36) from Brampton faces secret commissions, money laundering, and conspiracy. Vishnu Ayyamperumal Kumar (36) of Oshawa is charged with secret commissions, conspiracy, and breach of trust. Mandeep Manshahia (34) of Caledon faces secret commissions, money laundering, conspiracy, and breach of trust. Craig Berry (54) from Kingston, Victor Imade (55) from Georgetown, and Imraan Jaffer (43) from North York also face multiple charges, including breach of trust. Police warned that these dishonest actions compromise public safety because Class A licences allow driving large trucks and trailers over long distances. Some recent fatal crashes involving immigrant drivers have raised concerns about the testing system’s integrity. All eight men are released but scheduled for court appearances soon.
