Canadian arrests emphasize the purported involvement of a gang in India's intelligence operations.


Months after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of orchestrating a murder on Canadian soil, the first arrests in the case have failed to clarify the basis of his claim. The police arrested three Indian men in connection with the killing of a Sikh nationalist leader in British Columbia, but no evidence implicating India was provided. While Canadian officials assert India's involvement, Indian authorities maintain that Canada is involving them in a gang rivalry. Analysts speculate that India's spy agency may be extending its operations to Western countries through criminal networks. Meanwhile, the Indian government has retaliated against Canada's accusations, and tensions between the two countries are high. The arrested suspects are allegedly linked to an Indian criminal gang led by Lawrence Bishnoi, known for criminal activities spanning to Canada and connections to Khalistan supporters. The Indian government has accused Canada of not doing enough to crack down on Khalistan separatists. The case has raised concerns about the exploitation of criminal gangs by spy agencies for covert operations. While the US has produced evidence supporting their accusation of Indian involvement in a foiled assassination attempt, Canada has not publicly disclosed any evidence backing up Trudeau's claim. India's aggressive response and actions, including expelling Canadian diplomats, have fueled the diplomatic tension. The situation reflects the delicate political dynamics and challenges faced by both countries in managing the aftermath of the killing.
