An Alberta couple facing charges stemming from a massive drug bust last year recently saw those charges stayed in Swift Current Provincial Court. 27-year-old Swati Narula and 29-year-old Kunwardeep Singh of Calgary each had two charges against them stayed; One count of trafficking a controlled substance, under Section 5(1) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act One count of possession for the purpose of trafficking, under Section 5(2) of the Controlled Drugs and Substances Act The Federal Crown entered a written stay of proceedings on charges against Narula on February 24 and on charges against Singh on February 27. The Crown says that "decisions to stay proceedings are made in accordance with the Public Prosecution Service of Canada's Deskbook policy on the decision to prosecute, and Crown prosecutors are required to continually assess whether there remains a reasonable prospect of conviction and whether the public interest supports continuing the prosecution. Where either of these criteria is no longer met, the prosecution cannot proceed." The charges were laid on January 28, 2025, following a traffic stop conducted by the Saskatchewan RCMP's Roving Traffic Unit and the Saskatchewan Highway Patrol on the Trans Canada Highway near Swift Current. Police located around 17.5 pounds of fentanyl hidden under the spare tire and arrested the vehicle's occupants, Narula and Singh. They first appeared in Swift Current Provincial Court on January 29, 2025. Singh was released from custody on February 20, 2025, on a $25,000 cash bond, and Narula was granted bail on March on a $10,000 cash bond.
