A co-accused, Sarabjit Singh Gill, faces six charges: three counts of fraud over $5,000 and three counts of theft over $5,000.
Investigators allege the offences took place between 2017 and 2025. The charges stem from a covert investigation spanning approximately 2.5 years, Vancouver police confirmed.
A search warrant was executed at the offices of the Surrey-based KidsPlay Foundation on Thursday.
Dosanjh, who has served with the VPD for decades, is widely recognized for his work with the foundation. Through his lawyer, he maintains he is innocent and committed no crimes.
