Canada-India tensions weigh on members of Winnipeg's Sikh community
Some members of Winnipeg's Sikh community are concerned about the implications of growing tensions between the Canadian and Indian governments, as police in Canada investigate what they allege is the involvement of agents of the Indian government in violence on Canadian soil. That includes what sources have told CBC News is a possible link between three men accused in the killing of a Sikh separatist activist in B.C. in June 2023 and a homicide last year in Winnipeg. The tension worries Inderjeet Singh Brar, a Canadian citizen from India who now lives in northwest Winnipeg, not far from where Sukhdool Singh Gill, 39, was found dead inside a home on the morning of Sept. 20, 2023. "We were very concerned about that," Brar said. "It was, like, early morning when this happened, and the kids were going to the school at the time. And I don't want this thing to happen in this community." A person who lives in the area told CBC last year they heard around 11 gunshots on the morning of Sept. 20, before Gill was found dead.
