Bhupinder "Bindy" Singh Johal (January 14, 1971 – December 20, 1998) was an Indian born gangster who was raised in, and operated in, British Columbia, Canada. A self admitted drug trafficker; he was known for his outspoken nature and blatant disregard for authority. His quote "..I'm still around" has been sensationalized by Canadian pop-culture. On December 20, 1998, he was killed from behind at a crowded nightclub in Vancouver, British Columbia.
Born in Punjab, India, Johal immigrated to Vancouver, British Columbia with his parents at the age of four. He was increasingly temperamental, resented discipline, and had a lack of respect and remorse for others.
Although he did well in school and was even on the honour roll, he was expelled from Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School and sentenced to 60 days in jail after he "brutally" assaulted his vice-principal in 1989. Having moved to Richmond, British Columbia, Johal enrolled in McNair Secondary School. Johal smashed in the window of a car using a baseball bat and was convicted of possession of a dangerous weapon. Johal enrolled in college but dropped out after his first semester and thus began the start of his criminal career. He built a reputation as a hit-man working for Jimmy and Ron Dosanjh both of whom he would later betray and allegedly kill.
He was charged with aggravated assault for beating two men in a bar with a broken beer bottle in 1997. When imprisoned, Johal was labelled a "menace to society." Bindy reportedly had antisocial personality disorder which may account for why he was so quick to kill those close to him. He didn't keep close friends and was extremely callous to his associates. He reportedly tortured some of his victims, some of whom were from his own crew. "All he was concerned about was himself, he was very narcissistic in nature and had a general hatred of people. Bindy actually met Bal Buttar, one of his close associates, in prison when he was in his twenties. They never knew each other growing up and from Bal's statement's, Bindy made it very clear that they were not friends but business partners as he did with everyone else in his group." - Constable Spencer
