Fourth Arrest in Sikh Leader's Murder Intensifies Diplomatic Strain Between Canada and India

Canadian authorities charge a fourth Indian national in connection with the 2023 assassination of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, amplifying international tensions.

22-year-old Amandeep Singh, already detained on unrelated charges, faces accusations of first-degree murder and conspiracy.
The arrests follow allegations of Indian government involvement, which New Delhi vehemently denies.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cited credible evidence linking India to the assassination, sparking a diplomatic crisis.
The case has also brought scrutiny to Canada's immigration policies, particularly concerning international students.
Nijjar, a prominent advocate for Sikh independence, was killed outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia.
