Indian media has alleged that Pakistani agencies were involved in the murder of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, despite ongoing investigations implicating Indian intelligence operatives.
On September 18 of the previous year, the Canadian government accused India of involvement in Nijjar’s assassination. Canadian authorities have since arrested several operatives from India’s Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in connection with the case.
Additionally, the United States has confirmed India’s involvement in a failed assassination attempt against another Sikh leader, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, further supporting suspicions of Indian intelligence activities abroad.
As part of the investigation, Canada expelled an Indian diplomat suspected of being a RAW station chief operating under diplomatic cover.
These developments contradict the Indian media’s claims of Pakistani involvement, as investigations by both Canadian and U.S. authorities have centered on Indian intelligence activities. Critics argue that the media’s accusations are an attempt to deflect attention from India’s alleged extraterritorial operations against Sikh activists.
