Canada is in political turmoil. On the other hand, in a major blow to the Canadian police, four alleged killers of Hardeep Singh Nijjar have been released on bail. Now this case will be heard in the Supreme Court of Canada on February 11. In fact, due to lack of evidence, the Canadian police did not appear in the lower court, after which the Supreme Court stayed the proceedings and acquitted all four accused.
Canadian police also did not appear in the Hardeep Singh Nijjar murder case where the Canadian Prime Minister had made serious allegations against India. Whereas a charge sheet was filed in the court against four alleged murderers Karan Brar, Amandeep Singh, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh.
Why did all four accused get bail?
According to Canadian government documents, when the police did not appear in court, the accused appealed the case to the Supreme Court. When the first hearing took place on November 18, seeing the attitude of the police, the Supreme Court released all four accused on bail. Canadian government documents clearly state that the four alleged accused are no longer in the custody of Canadian police, having been released under a stay of proceedings.
Who are the four accused?
In May 2024, Canada arrested four Indians in the Nijjar murder case. IHIT arrested three Indian nationals, Karan Brar (22), Kamalpreet Singh (22) and Karanpreet Singh (28) for the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on 3 May. All three men were Indian nationals living in Edmonton and were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.
After this, accused Amardeep Singh (22) was also arrested in this case. Amardeep Singh was charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) said Amardeep Singh was arrested on May 11 for his role in Nijjar’s murder.
What was Hardeep Singh Nijjar murder case?
On June 18, 2023, Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead outside a Gurudwara in Surrey, Canada. He was declared wanted in India. Nijjar fled to Canada in 1997 and has more than a dozen cases registered against him in India for his involvement in murder and terrorist activities. Despite this, the Canadian government has not taken any action against Niger. After the murder of Nijjar in the year 2023, a new dispute arose between India and Canada. Canada is continuously pointing fingers at India regarding the murder of Nijjar and making serious allegations.
Crack in relations between India and Canada
In October 2024, Canada implicated Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma and other diplomats in the alleged murder of Nijjar and declared them persons of interest in the case.
After Nijjar’s murder, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had accused India that agents of the Indian government were involved in Nijjar’s death. India has completely rejected all the allegations made by Canada.
