Canada-India Nexus: Arrest of Nationals Linked to Killing of Sikh Separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar Reveals Disturbing Connections

The recent arrest of three Indian nationals in Canada linked to the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar has shed light on a troubling nexus between Canada-based Khalistan groups and Pakistan’s ISI. Top intelligence sources have revealed that these groups are fostering tension in Indian Punjab by granting visas to individuals with criminal backgrounds, allowing them to carry out a range of illegal activities with impunity.

The arrested individuals, Karan Brar, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karanpreet Singh, were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection to Nijjar’s death. However, External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar has emphasized that the investigation into Nijjar’s killing is Canada’s internal matter and India is awaiting further information from Canadian authorities.

The intelligence sources have highlighted the operations of seven “A Category” gangsters from Punjab who have sought refuge in Canada. These individuals, with a history of criminal activities in Punjab, have been granted visas to Canada where they continue to engage in extortion, drug trafficking, targeted killings, and terrorist activities. Their connections to various Khalistan groups further complicate the situation.

The profiles of these gangsters paint a grim picture of their activities in Canada. From involvement in attacks on police headquarters to facilitating criminal acts in Punjab, these individuals play a significant role in perpetuating violence and instability in the region. The sources have also pointed out that these gangsters are operating on behalf of the ISI, ultimately channeling money to Pakistan and creating tension in Indian Punjab.

The revelation of this nexus between Canada-based Khalistan groups, Pakistan’s ISI, and criminal elements from Punjab underscores the need for international cooperation to address the root causes of violence and extremism. As India awaits further details on the arrests in Canada, the implications of this troubling connection continue to raise concerns about the security situation in the region.
