The investigation is ongoing, but Surrey RCMP believe it may be tied to the Lower Mainland gang conflict.

Khan remains in custody and is pending his next court appearance. Kumar has been released on bail and is currently under house arrest.
The investigation is ongoing, but according to RCMP, this incident is believed to be associated with the Lower Mainland gang conflict with more charges to be expected.
