Khalist. terrorists: Canadian police on Friday arrested three Indian citizens in the murder case of Khalist. separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. This information has been given in media reports. Police believe those arrested are members of an alleged group that was tasked by the Indian government to kill Nijjar last year.
In September last year, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had alleged that the killing of Niger was included in the Indian agenda. After this there was tension in the relations between India and Canada. India rejected Trudeau’s allegations as ‘absurd’ and ‘motivated’. News reports said police arrested the men on Friday during a search operation in at least two Canadian provinces. Sources said that a few months ago, the police had identified these people as a group of people involved in the murder of Nijjar and the police were keeping an eye on them.
