Canada arrests three over killing of Sikh activist

Mooker said Canadian police are still investigating the ties of the suspects, 'if any, to the Indian government.' ― AFP picVANCOUVER, May 4 ― Canadian police yesterday arrested three men over the killing last year in Vancouver of a Sikh separatist, whose death has been linked to the Indian government.

They were arrested by police in Edmonton, in the neighbouring province of Alberta, where they reside, and are being held pending further proceedings.“This investigation does not end here. We are aware that others may have played a role in this homicide,” said Mandeep Mooker of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's homicide investigations team.Nijjar ― who immigrated to Canada in 1997 and became a citizen in 2015 ― advocated for a separate Sikh state, known as Khalistan, carved out of India.

“It is a bit of a sigh of relief that the investigation is moving forward,” Moninder Singh, a close friend of Nijjar, told AFP. Prosecutors said in unsealed court documents that an Indian government official was also involved in the planning.
