Three men have been arrested and charged in Canada for the alleged murder of a prominent Sikh separatist, according to Canadian police, marking the latest development in a long-running intrigue that has fueled diplomatic tension between Canada and India. According to court filings seen by CNN, the men are identified as Karanpreet Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karan Brar. They are accused of conspiring “with others to commit the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar,” according to the filings.
Weeks after Trudeau’s announcement, the United States accused an Indian government official of being involved in a conspiracy to kill another Sikh separatist, American citizen Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, on US soil. A US indictment unsealed in November accused an Indian national, Nikhil Gupta, of trying to kill Pannun, who is a wanted man in India and considered to be a terrorist by the government. US prosecutors say Gupta was acting on orders from an unnamed Indian government official.
