An Abusive Silicon Valley CEO Is Going To Jail (cbslocal.com)
He'd sold his second online advertising company for $300 million at the age of 25. Six years later he was charged with 47 felonies. And now? "A Silicon Valley millionaire entrepreneur who avoided jail time for a domestic violence conviction in 2014 -- and had his probation revoked following another domestic violence incident -- was sentenced to a year in jail Friday after losing his appeal," writes CBS SF. An anonymous reader quotes their report:
Gurbaksh Chahal, founder of online advertising companies Gravity4 and RadiumOne, sobbed while asking San Francisco Superior Court Judge Tracy Brown for leniency... The 36-year-old was immediately remanded into custody after Brown declined to change her ruling. Chahal must serve at least six months of the one-year sentence. He has been out of custody on $250,000 bail...
Chahal was charged with felony domestic violence in 2013 after police say he punched and kicked his girlfriend 117 times inside his San Francisco penthouse. Security camera video evidence of the attack was deemed inadmissible after a judge ruled police had obtained it without a warrant. With no video and after his girlfriend declined to cooperate with police, Chahal pleaded guilty in 2014 to two misdemeanor battery charges of domestic violence and was sentenced to three years probation.... He was accused of violating his probation in 2016 by kicking another girlfriend in the same South Beach apartment. "Tonight he's sleeping in the big house," quipped a local TV reporter, adding "that's got to feel very different."

Odds are the botched warrant was intentional.
I doubt he’ll learn anything, but we can at least hope this might keep him from killing some future girlfriend.

Since when can't you kick your girlfriend 117 times? What country is this!
Welcome to the U.S., where a rich person going to jail is news.
If he'd grabbed a few women by the pussy, or moved on them like a bitch...
Maybe had an affair or two while his SO was pregnant....
He could be in that other Big House: 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
deserves a physical education, preferably at my protracted tutelage. May prison educate this fool meanwhile.
WTF
He was an immigrant that greatly enriched us and created jobs. Diversity is the greatest good.
"Ordinary people are impetuous and err by accident. The middle class err by design. Therefore the penalties should be doubled, not halved." - Ruth (The Life and Loves of a She-Devil)
Care killed the cat, but satisfaction brought it back.
One year ? Not enough. This scumbag needs to die in jail, and every single one of his offsprings needs to be sterilized, now.
Psychopaths are the plague of humanity. They are the cause of 99% of all the pain, suffering and bloodshed on the planet. ruthless, cold, heartless CEOs, drug lords, war lords, religious cult leaders, members of criminal biker gangs, mafia, dictators, etc. All psychopaths.
The psychopathic genetic filth must be expunged from the human genome for our species to have any chance of ever finally and completely emerging from its barbaric and savage animalistic roots.
Where this joker Chahal the summary refers to is originally from, abusing women is a common thing.
Of course in the US any of us who are civilized will agree that abusing women is wrong, period.
People come from other countries to the US and they bring their customs and behaviors they learned in those other countries with them. Another example of this is that in Mexico, people driving drunk is something that is often seen. In the US we frown on drunk driving. The arrest records
prove that a significant number of Mexican immigrants get caught driving drunk in the US.
There's a problem -- and it seems few liberals have the sense or the strength of character to admit this, with their idiotic "kumbaya" attitude.
The problem is that people bring their bad behaviors with them when they come to the US, and the people who were born and raised in the US often suffer for it. Or maybe you don't think being MURDERED constitutes suffering.
I think new immigrants, if they are immigrating the legal way, should be under the threat of being sent back where they came from permanently if they commit various crimes during the first 10 years they are in the US. The US doesn't need more lowlife scum coming to the US to live.
I can hardly wait for you liberal pussies to get your panties in a twist over what I wrote. In advance I will say : when a drunk Mexican driver kills someone you love, you'll see the wisdom of what I wrote.
He was accused of violating his probation in 2016 by kicking another girlfriend in the same South Beach apartment.
So he should have kicked her in a different South Beach apartment to stay in the probation terms?
We all know that you wouldn't do shit, Internet tough guy.
Any man who beats up on a woman should be castrated.
What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
This guy would be beating women in a trailer park if he wasn't rich. The money just allowed him to delay the inevitable.

After his six months in jail, could he be returned to Tarn Taran Sahib, Punjab, India?

He was accused of violating his probation in 2016 by kicking another girlfriend in the same South Beach apartment."
And now that first girlfriend can be almost *entirely* blamed for the battery on the second. People who do bad things should be punished, this is something people are supposed to learn very early on. Anything less is breeding sociopaths.
So was this guy a pajeet or camel jockey?

Yeah but he is not going to jail because he is a CEO, he is going because he beats women. ((And so should he)) But if he was going to jail because he was a CEO who fucked over his workers or clients then it is worth mentioning he is a CEO. But this guy is just a douchebag, the CEO part, his job description, has nothing to do with his crime so why mention it? If the POTUS beats his wife he too would just be another douchebag. If he fucks up his job then it makes sense to note his job description.
It is like when they report a African American man arrested for drunk driving. Who cares if he is African American, his ethnicity has nothing to do with the crime. Just another douchebag.
These types of headlines create boogeymen.
That always bothered me about the American legal system. Depending on the nature and type of evidence it's possible that withholding it does not serve justice. If evidence is obtained illegally then a judge should decide whether it should still be admitted and require the party who violated the rules to be fined or otherwise disciplined so they'll have an incentive not to do it again. Withholding legitimate (per the judge) evidence, no matter how it was obtained, can affect justice. Thus in this case the video should be admitted and the police who obtained it without a warrant should be fined several thousand dollars.
Eats shit. Beautiful. And we're coming for the rest of you cuck losers too.
his lacking of understanding how to quench the desires of a REAL WOMAN.
With such a small penis, why is any one surprised?
But, looking past that petty shit,
the ladies whom brought these suits must have been of questionable nature, I mean, for all the "counts" at issue, he gets to spend less than a year.. Seriously??
Perhaps they charged him, for the crimes. But for the damages, perhaps the bitches deserved it. Thus the significant reduction in the severity of the penalties..
I dont know the whole story, and who's to say any one ever will..
You beat someone, especially a woman you GO to JAIL.
Even the gold diggin Bitches get theirs eventually.
I mean that's their game right? Clean up on someone's weakness. Parasite..
He is stupid for putting himself into ficked up positions,
She is stupid for getting involved in the first place..
Too many abusive assholes in the high income bracket get away with too much shit. Men and women alike.
It is about time more went to jail for their abuse of our tax system, our citizens, and our laws.
That judge is getting high fived by every woman in her neighborhood. And also free lunch, free coffee and 0% APR financing for life!
Sounds like he didn't do anything wrong. If she doesn't care, why should we?
how many times did you get raped?
I mean really. Beside the abuse, the guy obviously has a 'kicking disorder'. He should have his legs confined to a 30 degree motion, no more..
Being rich doesn't let you get away with abuse. Only being a cop or judge gives you that privilege
