New Delhi:
Days after the US Department of Justice made an indictment public in which it said that the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in 2023 was carried out on the orders of gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, it has come to light that the Khalistani terrorist had persuaded another notorious ganglord to flee India.
Nijjar, a Khalistani terrorist, was killed outside a gurdwara in Canada’s Surrey in June 2023 and then-Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had said “agents of the Government of India” were involved in the assassination. India dismissed the claims and Canada has also walked them back since.
Indian security agencies maintain that Nijjar had long been engaged in establishing a network of banned Khalistani terrorist organisations in Canada. New Delhi had been informing the US and Canada for years that Nijjar was operating from abroad to fuel anti-India activities and, officials noted that several details revealed in the US indictment align closely with information that was previously shared.
Amidst all this, a chargesheet filed by the Delhi Police Special Cell has added a new dimension to the matter. According to the chargesheet – accessed by NDTV – it was Nijjar who persuaded gangster Arshdeep Singh Gill, alias Arsh Dalla, to leave India and flee to Canada.
