Judge Jeffrey Lubyk said that given Saskatchewan’s and Prince Albert’s struggles with methamphetamine and the overdose crisis associated with fentanyl, along with the fact Parteek was motivated purely by profit, he could be held to a high standard of moral culpability. 

An examination of cellphone contents showed a large amount of cocaine was also being sold. 

“Parteek is not a street-level dealer, but neither was he the boss,” Lubyk said as he read his sentencing decision in court. 

Along with the seven-year prison sentence, Parteek was given a weapons ban and a mandatory DNA order for the national database, and will be deported to India. He received credit for 506 days served in remand.
