Arunjit Virk, 21, awaits sentencing for carrying a loaded Polymer80 handgun around Metrotown mall in March 2021, but his family said a psychological report that concluded he was a 'moderate risk to re-offend' was based on an 11-minute video interview.
Crown prosecutor Ariel Bultz says 21-year-old Arunjit Virk should go to prison for three years for carrying a loaded, illegal ghost gun around Burnaby’s busy Metrotown mall in March 2021.
Defence lawyer David Karp proposed a conditional sentence of between 18 and 24 months, but Bultz argued that would be an “unfit” sentence given the “dangerousness of the offence.” Bultz also noted Virk hadn’t done well on bail since his arrest for that incident, and a psychiatric report prepared in the case had found him a “moderate risk to reoffend.”He said Virk’s family had told him the interview that formed the basis of the report had lasted for only 11 minutes via video conference when it should have lasted hours.
“I think the report stands for this court purpose,” Bultz said. “Mr. Virk’s lack of purported co-operation, while it may be unfortunate for him at these proceedings, it’s a result of his own doing.”
