A Toronto-area police force is investigating an apparent leak after confidential police documents about an aborted drug arrest were used to try to discredit a man vying to be a candidate for the Ontario Progressive Conservatives. The criminal investigation bureau of the Peel police is looking into how the records got out, said Sgt. We’re getting advice on that.”The candidate targeted by the mail campaign could not be reached for comment. “A leak of sensitive personal information from a police database would certainly raise privacy concerns,” the office said in a statement. Badwal confirmed the man remains in a senior volunteer position with the the Brampton Centre PC riding association despite his disqualification as a potential candidate.
