The recent arrest of three Indian citizens in Canada for their suspected involvement in the assassination of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has heightened tensions between India and Canada. These arrests come after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau suggested the potential involvement of Indian operatives in Nijjar's killing last year. The three individuals, Karanpreet Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karan Brar, are each facing charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder in connection with Nijjar's death. This development further complicates the fraught relationship between India and Canada since Nijjar's murder in 2023.
