Canadian authorities made a significant breakthrough in the case of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's murder by arresting and charging three Indian men – Karanpreet Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karan Brar. The investigation is focusing on whether these men were connected to the Indian government, with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police indicating that this development could potentially have diplomatic implications given the allegations of Indian government involvement.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was fatally shot outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, leading to heightened tensions between Canada and India, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau mentioned evidence suggesting Indian government ties to the assassination. The presence of Sikh separatist groups in Canada has long been a concern for New Delhi, with Nijjar being labeled as a "terrorist," further complicating the situation between the two countries. On an international level, the White House recently expressed concern about reports of Indian intelligence agency involvement in assassination plots in both Canada and the United States, indicating a broader scope to the issue at hand.
