After Accusing India Of Nijjar's Murder, Canadian Police Reportedly Set To Arrest Suspects Who Stayed In Canada Since Killing
Terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
In a significant development, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) is reportedly on the verge of apprehending two individuals suspected in the fatal shooting of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia.
Nijjar, 45, was ambushed and shot multiple times in a gangland-style incident outside a Sikh temple in Surrey on 18 June.
Sources, as reported by Indian Express suggest that the suspects have remained in Canada since the murder and have been under police surveillance.
The RCMP is expected to make arrests in the coming weeks and may reveal more details regarding the alleged involvement of the accused, including any potential connections to the Indian government.
This development follows earlier tensions between Canada and India, sparked by accusations from Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau linking Nijjar's death to Indian state agents.
However, New Delhi vehemently denied any role in the assassination, citing a lack of convincing evidence.
The RCMP's impending actions may shed light on the circumstances surrounding Nijjar's killing and its broader geopolitical implications.
As the situation unfolds, diplomatic relations between Canada and India may face further scrutiny, impacting various aspects of bilateral cooperation.
