Arrests in Canadian Sikh Leader's Killing Fail to Clarify Canada-India Diplomatic Strain

Months after the tense exchange between Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Indian government, the first arrests in the killing of Sikh nationalist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar have been made, shedding little light on the basis of the political accusations.

The recent arrests made in connection to Nijjar's murder have not provided any substantial evidence to support the claims made by the Canadian Prime Minister, leaving the underlying motive of the alleged Indian involvement shrouded in mystery.

Official Statements

Although the police have identified three Indian men as the perpetrators, no concrete details linking the Indian government to the crime have been presented. The investigation into India’s role in the murder is still ongoing.

Before the arrests, Indian officials had dismissed the allegations made by Canada, asserting that it was an attempt to embroil New Delhi in a long-standing feud between criminal factions with ties to India.
