New Delhi: A leading Canadian daily, The Globe and Mail has reported that two men who have allegedly killed a US-Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a separatist Sikh leader, are likely to be arrested soon.In developments that are set to increase troubles being faced by the Indian government over accusations of ‘transnational repression’ and the targeting of US and Canadian citizens on their soil, reports that “three sources told The Globe and Mail that the suspected killers never left Canada after Mr. Nijjar’s slaying and have been under police surveillance for months. Two of the sources said the RCMP (Royal Canadian Mounted Police) are expected to make arrests and lay charges in the coming weeks.”The charges and alleged links to “the Indian government” are likely to be made public.The sources have told the newspaper that “police will explain the alleged assassins’ involvement and that of the Indian government when charges are laid against the two men. The Globe is not identifying the sources because they were not authorised to discuss national-security and police matters.”It is not known, adds the paper whether arrests of any other “suspected accomplices in the slaying” are expected.The Washington Post has reported, citing “video footage and witness accounts, that at least six men and two vehicles were involved in the killing of Nijjar.”Also Read: ‘Nick’, a Money Courier and a Hitman: What New Documents Say About The Pannun Murder PlotIndia and Canada’s diplomatic ties took a hit when Justin Trudeau first made accusations about India’s involvement on September 18 in the Canadian parliament in the killing of Nijjar earlier this year. India had strongly denied his charges then. But after a damning criminal indictment by the United States was unsealed (made public), alleging that Nikhil Gupta, an Indian national, arrested and detained in the Czech Republic in June, “allegedly arranged the murder for hire of the U.S.-based Sikh activist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, general counsel for the New York-based Sikhs for Justice,” India had said it will cooperate in the investigation and stopped denying charges directly as it had done earlier.
