A rookie Peel Regional Police officer has been charged with assault and assault causing bodily harm after an off-duty altercation at a wedding in a Brampton banquet hall this month.

Const. Jasjit Sandhu, 26, has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of the case.

Sandhu, a Brampton resident, has been on the job for just 11 months, working out of 21 Division in Bramalea.

Police said the officer and the two victims know each other. They were all guests at an April 10 wedding at the Grand Banquet Hall, in the area of Gore Road and Queen Street East. The assaults happened during an altercation in the “very early morning hours,” according to police.

The victims were both Mississauga men, aged 22 and 27. Their injuries “were not considered serious in nature,” according to Peel police spokesperson Acting Staff Sgt. William Ford.
