He was expelled from secondary school (the same school that classmate and future Defense Minister Harjit Sajjan went to) in 1989 for assaulting the vice-principal, and he dropped out of college during the first semester to become a hitman for the Punjabi Mafia. He was employed by the brothers Jimmy Dosanjh and Ron Dosanjh, both of whom he would kill in February–April 1994; he was engaged in murder-for-hire, drug dealing, and debt collecting. When he was tried for the murders, Johal was acquitted, but he another trial was due to be held. However, this was not to be.
