A Toronto man facing multiple counts of attempted murder for an alleged drive-by shooting in Scarborough is back in jail after a judge found that a justice of the peace was wrong to release him on bail pending his trial.

Superior Court Justice Llana Nakonechny ruled Friday that public confidence in the justice system “would be undermined” if Muhammad Ashan Naseer was allowed to remain out on bail. She also found that his release plan was weak.
