In a significant development in the case of the targeted killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Canadian authorities have arrested three Indian nationals suspected to be part of an alleged hit squad. While the arrests mark progress, they raise profound questions about potential government involvement and the complex dynamics of transnational security.
Details of the Arrests:
The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) led the operation, arresting the suspects—identified as Karan Brar (22), Kamalpreet Singh (22), and Karanpreet Singh (28)—in Edmonton. All three individuals face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder related to Nijjar’s assassination.
Nijjar, a prominent Sikh separatist, was gunned down in the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey on June 18, 2023. The case has been under investigation, with IHIT collaborating with various law enforcement agencies across Canada.
