Day Parole for Extortion Ring Middleman

A 20-year-old electrician with no prior record, Divnoor Asht, has been granted day parole after pleading guilty to extortion and arson in a terrifying scheme that terrorized South Asian homebuilders in Edmonton. Though he didn’t set fires or make threats himself, he acted as a key coordinator, relaying messages and reporting back — even sending a photo of a burning house with laughing emojis. The Parole Board deemed him low risk, citing his education, family support, and newfound awareness of his actions. Now, with strict conditions including curfew, job requirements, and no contact with criminals or victims, he’s rebuilding his life — aiming to become an electrician apprentice and eventually start his own business.
