A Peel Region police officer has been released on bail after he was charged with domestic assault, forcible confinement and mischief over $5,000.

Const. Rajvir Ghuman was arrested over the weekend after an alleged victim came forward to police on Aug. 19, Sgt. Josh Colley said.

He said Ghuman was immediately suspended with pay as per the provisions of the Ontario Police Services Act.

Colley said he would not be releasing any information regarding the specifics of the allegations because of the victim’s privacy and the matter is before the courts.

“Conduct of this nature is not tolerated by the Peel Regional Police and any officer who engages in this behavior will be investigated and charged appropriately,” said police Chief Jennifer Evans in a statement.

Ghuman appeared in court Monday.
