Bajaj is charged with three counts of possession of drugs for the purpose of trafficking, the same charges that were laid in May after he was arrested inside a vehicle.

Police say they believe Bajaj is involved in an ongoing conflict in the city's Townline Hill area and that an innocent man was killed last week.

Seventy-four-year-old Ping Shun Ao was shot outside his home on Sept. 2 when he was taking out his trash.
