Dhillon was was accused by a woman of sexual misconduct and harassment while on a City of Brampton trade mission to Turkey in 2019.

He ran for reelection despite council unanimously calling for Dhillon to resign following a report from the City’s integrity commissioner which stated the victim said “no” 74 times during the alleged harassment.

Dhillon has denied the allegations, which were reported to Peel Regional Police (PRP). All information provided by the complainant was passed on to the Turkish police because the incident happened outside PRP’s jurisdiction.
