“I can’t believe it, I can’t believe he (got bail),” she said. “These are serious charges.”

In a bizarre twist, police also arrested two of Chahil’s family members and charged them with accessory after the fact to aggravated assault.

Hardip Padda, 44, (his mother) and Harmanvir Chahil, 18, (his younger brother), both of Windsor, are charged.

The notorious assault has garnered a throng of public attention.

Peel Regional Police Insp. Norman English called the incident a “cowardly act on a defenceless 29-year-old autistic male.”

Mississauga Mayor Bonnie Crombie also spoke out about what she described as a “heinous and senseless” attack.

The assault, which occurred around 10:45 p.m., left the 29-year-old victim bloodied and with a broken nose.

Officers responded to the attack in the Square One bus terminal at 200 Rathburn Rd. W.

The victim was sitting on the stairs of the lower level of the bus terminal when he was approached by three men. The three surrounded him and “continued to punch and kick (him) multiple times," said police. They then fled the area.

The victim was taken to local hospital with serious, but non-life-threatening injuries.

Police have yet to identify a third suspect in the case, but believe he might go by the name “Jason.”
