Following months of investigation, Canadian police apprehended three individuals in connection with the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a case that had strained relations between India and Canada. The arrests come amidst ongoing scrutiny over potential ties to the Indian government, with further investigations underway.
The Canadian police have arrested three men in connection with the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a case that sparked a diplomatic dispute between India and Canada. The suspects, identified as Karanpreet Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karan Brar, were apprehended in Edmonton, Alberta, and are allegedly Indian nationals residing in Canada on non-permanent resident permits. The arrests follow accusations by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Indian government involvement in Nijjar’s killing, allegations dismissed by New Delhi as absurd. The police, led by RCMP superintendent Mandeep Mooker and Assistant Commissioner David Teboul, are investigating potential ties to the Indian government and have vowed to pursue all individuals involved in the homicide. Charges against the suspects include first-degree murder and conspiracy, with ongoing discussions between Canadian and Indian authorities. The case has escalated tensions between the two nations, exacerbated by India’s designation of Nijjar as a terrorist in 2020 and subsequent diplomatic measures. Despite Canada’s claims, India maintains that no concrete evidence has been provided regarding Nijjar’s murder.
