Canadian police arrest 3 in killing of Sikh separatist leader that sparked diplomatic spat w/ India
Canadian police charged three people on Friday with the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in the province of British Columbia in June 2023, Canadian media said, citing court documents. Nijjar, 45, was shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, a Vancouver suburb with a large Sikh population. The news broke days after the White House expressed concern about the reported role of the Indian intelligence service in assassination plots in Canada and the United States. The presence of Sikh separatist groups in Canada has long frustrated New Delhi. Nijjar was labeled a “terrorist” by India. New Delhi rejected Trudeau’s claim as “absurd.” CTV and Global News first reported the news of those arrested on Friday, with CTV saying all three were Indian nationals.
