Osoyoos RCMP officer’s Code of Conduct hearing delayed

Suspended RCMP officer Amit Goyal's Code of Conduct disciplinary hearing has been delayed until Aug. 31.

The Code of Conduct hearing for suspended Osoyoos RCMP officer Amit Goyal has been moved to Aug. 31.

Goyal is still receiving pay two years after his suspension from the RCMP, though there is little explanation as to why the hearing set for Federal Court in Vancouver was delayed until late August.

The RCMP E Division responded with only an email confirming the hearing had been moved, but not providing any reasons as to why.

Former Osoyoos man Steve Condon is currently suing the Town of Osoyoos, the province of B.C. and the RCMP for alleged incidents of harassment by Goyal.

Condon’s lawyer, Paul Evans, told the Western News he was unable to find out why the hearing was moved.
