Months after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused the Indian government of orchestrating a murder on Canadian soil, the first arrests in the killing did little to clarify the basis of his claim. The police arrested three Indian men for the killing of Sikh nationalist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar but did not provide evidence of India's involvement. While Canadian officials have maintained their accusation, Indian officials have dismissed it as an attempt to involve New Delhi in a gang rivalry. The involvement of a criminal gang in the killing does not rule out the possibility of Indian government involvement, as India's spy agency has been suspected of using criminal networks for operations. The article also highlights the power struggle between Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Justin Trudeau, with both leaders facing criticism and accusations. The arrests and the alleged connection of the suspects to an Indian criminal gang have left the case in a realm of accusations and counter-accusations, creating a highly tense political environment. The article also discusses the influence of the gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi, who has been accused of orchestrating criminal activities from an Indian jail, with his network stretching to Canada and overlapping with supporters of the Khalistan movement. The involvement of India's spy agency, RAW, in using criminal gangs for operations is also highlighted, with analysts pointing out the potential use of gang rivalries for deniable operations. The article contrasts the response of the Indian and Canadian governments to the accusations, with Canada not publicly disclosing evidence and India pushing back aggressively. The political implications of the accusations and the response from both governments are also discussed, highlighting the tensions and diplomatic repercussions between the two countries.
