An acclaimed businessman in Ajax, Ontario, has striking similarities to an international fugitive accused of leading a criminal organization linked to a series of extortions and murders in India.

Well if it's not the same dude that poor guy is going to have his reputation ruined

Did you read the story? Both are born in the same year, had similar surgeries the same year, etc.
The odds of not being the same person are pretty unlikely.

Not to mention fleeing the country when he found out about the article

For real
WTF type of journalism is this?
12
did you read the article? it's in-depth journalism. it's more than just a picture. they share a birthday. they underwent the same surgery. the one wanted by interpol used an alias that's the same as this guy but off by one letter. they were both living in Kolkata in 2007 when "Joy" was arrested. "Joy" has been reported to be hiding out in Canada since at least 2012, Rana first came to Canada in 2011.
not to mention that since he was approached about the story, he fled the country.

journalism in Canadian news has been dying more and more and more ever since 9/11

There is a slight depression on his left on his nose that seems to be present in both pictures. Sure as hell looks like the same dude.

The hair growth pattern (the orientation of hair follicles) is the exact same in both pictures.

As they have a mug I’m assuming they have fingerprints. If so get his, if its a match deport, else say sorry and let the guy get on with his life.

Do you think that the police in India actually have this guys fingerprints on file, and not some lackey? Indian police are not known to be bastions of honesty.

Why don't you actually read the article?

Because I’m on reddit

Well they do say that everyone has a doppelganger...

Mine was a local drug dealer who I got mistaken for regularily, people always lookiing to buy something, and cops always following me and stopping me for stupid non-reasons-never got a ticket, just warnings. (the guy even had the same model car as I did I come to find out later)

I grew up in a small town with very few people my age to hang out with. Everyone our age hung out at the one park since there was nothing else to do. There was good kids and troubled kids all mixed together, police would frequently roll by.
Sometimes I'd be waiting for friends (before cellphones were popular we'd all just set a meet there at school), sometimes while waiting I'd chat with the more troubled/bad kids. The police associated me with the bad kids, this led to a bad reputation among adults, this led to a lot of police harassment and the police knowing my current situation fairly well and that meant they know I don't drive a car/have my license.
My brother who moved out of town years before, 3 years older than me is pretty much my doppelganger, we pretty much had the same haircut, same build, same height.
One time my brother came to visit my parents, the police pulled him over and arrested him, they thought his ID was fake, they thought he had stolen a car, they thought he was me, fucking hell was that horrible, FUCK THE POLICE. I've never done anything illegal worth mentioning in my life, I have no criminal record and the police thought I was some sort of gang boss... No I was just a kid hanging out at the spot where all the kids hung out..
One more time FUCK THE POLICE the fucking cunts.

Guilty until proven innocent--the unofficial way it works.
It was years later I finally, quite by accident got all the b.s. to stop with a chance meeting with the husband of a secretary at a job I recently started. I didn't know him, he just happened to be there dropping his wife off while I came in cursing up a storm. We had a bit of a chat about wtf was going on. See him a couple days later again and he tells me things should be a lot quieter for me. And boy was it, RIP buddy, you probably made the rest of my existance around here more relaxed as a result.
He had connections, don't know what he did or who he talked to, but it was like a switch was thrown. I have not had a single b.s. stop since then (a couple valid ones yes). What I did notice, I still got followed for a couple months, but not for blocks at a time, a block or two, and they would turn off, in the past I could garantee that if I had a cop behind me for more than two or three blocks I'd be getting pulled over. One good thing about it, at that time I learned the HTA forward and backward, back when arguing your opposition to why they stopped you wasn't valid.
Hopefully you got all that nonsense behind you as well. And hopefully they got raked over the coals for harrassing your brother.

This guy is the true face of how to move up the corrupt ladder of our country. All politicians and banks involved with this guy should be investigated. My wife works at a charity that this man actually contributed too, but only if he had his pic taken and was named. All other times they couldnt get ahold of him. Also he went by MD and the funny thing is most thought he was a doctor haha and i wonder if the politicians and the banks thought so too. He also had some shady promoters whom did some events and they owe money to some places and one of them owed money to MD and hasnt been seen for 2 yrs. Hopefully this stuff doesnt get buried and proper investigations on him are done and ajax politicians are held accountable for letting this guy get onto their boards of trade and anything else. Amazing he was able to accomplish so much in 7yrs on a visitor visa and fake credentials. Where did his money and credit come from?

He had them removed.

Who cares.... I'd much rather live beside Indian gangsters than the drug addicts here. And maybe he left that life behind and just wanted to do better for himself and his family. Maybe he had no choice and was a victim of circumstance. North America is all about blowing things way out of proportion.

If by resemblance you mean that both pictures are of the same guy then yes, striking resemblance.
