Are Kulbir Dhaliwal, 25, and Amritpal "Paul" Dhaliwal, 21, the two brothers involved in the 2007 tiger mauling for which they recently received a $900K settlement, crying out for attention, are they just plain old stupid, or both? Just a couple of weeks ago, Kulbir Dhaliwal was arrested for alleged possession of 3 grams of cocaine on July 22, while riding in the car of Tarlok Dhaliwal, 26, who has since been confirmed as the third infamous brother and who was initially pulled over in the July incident for driving the wrong way on a one-way street near the San Jose campus and was arrested for suspicion of being under the influence. more ›

Kulbir Dhaliwal, one of the brothers who survived the tiger attack at the SF Zoo back in Christmas of 2007, for which they both were recently awarded a $900,000 settlement, is already back to his thuggish ways. Dhaliwal, who was a passenger in a car that was pulled over in Santa Clara County on Wednesday, was arrested on suspicion of possessing either 3 ounces or 3 grams of cocaine and suspicion of being under the influence. (The Chronicle and San Jose Mercury have conflicting reports. There's a big difference between ounces and grams... Update: the Chronicle has updated their story with grams.) Dhaliwal had to be held down in order for the police to obtain a blood sample, and police records show that he also had to be restrained during his September 2007 arrest. The driver of the vehicle, Tarlok Dhaliwal, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence. It's unclear what his relation is to the infamous duo. more ›

The victims (instigators?) of the Christmastime tiger mauling that left their (sort of) friend, Carlos Sousa Jr., dead, Kulbir and Amritpal Dhaliwal will receive a cool $900.000 from the San Francisco Zoo. According to SF Chronicle, this settlement by the zoo "resolves claims the brothers brought in U.S. District Court against the city, zoo and Sam Singer, a crisis public relations consultant the zoo hired after the attack." The brothers' lawsuit, among other claims, says that the SF Zoo failed at "keeping the 243-pound Siberian tiger named Tatiana in an enclosure that had walls 4 feet lower that what is recommended by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums." It also says that Kulbir Dhaliwal "wasn't attacked until after an employee refused to allow him into the safety of a zoo cafe." Which, yeah, regardless of what you think of the hoodlum brothers, that's kind of cold. Anyway, the Dhaliwal brothers will split the money, which is sure to buy all of the Grey Goose, Drakkar Noir, and criminal defense attorneys they will ever need. more ›

Big-cat attack survivor Kulbir Dhaliwal, who saw his fame quotient skyrocket last year after Tatiana the tiger escape from her grotto and went on a fatal rampage, was handed ten days in jail after pleading guilty to public intoxication and resisting arrest. This incident happened before the Tatiana killed the Dhaliwal's "friend" Carlos Sousa, Jr. The Dhaliwal brothers, it seems, "were arrested Sept. 7, 2007, after they scuffled with San Jose police who tried to stop them after seeing them chase two men down the street." But wait, it gets better! Kulbir also "cursed at officers while kicking the security partition in a squad car, forcing police to pull him out and put him in leg restraints." more ›

Looking to get a few bucks out of the city for the Christmas Day tiger attack that claimed the life of their (alleged) friend Carlos Sousa Jr., Amritpal and Kulbir Dhaliwal have filed claims against the city. Finally. And our sources sent SFIst a copy of the claim! (We'll try to get that up for you shortly.) more ›

Oh my God, you guys, no way. Get this: the New York Post was wrong. What's next: Intelligent Design? Celebrity weddings? Our meth-induced epiphanies that the CIA, in cahoots with the Norteños, are reading our emails and listening in on our phone calls? See, it seems that "[n]o slingshots have been found" and that the NY Post was wrong. And we refuse to believe anything Rupert Murdoch-related is less than perfect. more ›
