Canadian police have arrested three men over the murder of a seek separatist and Vancouver last month or last June rather investigators said they are also probing possible ties between the suspects and the Indian government Deli had no immediate response to the arrests but has for months denied involvement The Killing has become the center of a diplomatic spat between Canada and India 10 months after hard sing nar’s killing Canadian police have their main suspects three Indian Nationals living in Canada but officials say they’re still looking for others who might be involved in the murder including agents of the Indian government I will underscore that today’s announcements are not a complete account of the investigative work currently underway there are separate and distinct investigations ongoing into these matters certainly not limited to the involvement of the people arrested today and these efforts include investigating connections to the government of India relations between Ottawa and Delhi have been tense since nar’s killing last June India labeled him a terrorist for his role in the seek separatist movement which aims to carve an independent state kistan out of parts of India and Pakistan siks in Canada and India have accused the Indian government of a political assassination in September Canada’s prime minister said there was reason to believe in a conspiracy over the past number of weeks Canadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen hardip Singh Nar India called the allegations absurd and unsubstantiated and expelled dozens of Canadian diplomats prime minister Narendra Modi later told the financial times that he would look into the allegations but so far no findings have been released we’re joined Now by DW correspondent Adil bot in Delhi India um Adil do you expect that there will be a strong reaction from India and this whole thing will escalate Melissa I believe there are both domestic and diplomatic implications that May unfold around the recent developments on hardip Singh n’s killing firstly we need to see the timing of these developments it’s happening during the uh peak of election period in India and it’s likely that this issue of the arrest of three Indian Nationals involving the killing of Pep ner may get escalated it can actually work in favor of the ruling party as issues like this one gets very easily politicized uh also the experts have said in the past that there is a possibility that the BJP May weave such issues around the larger National Security narrative which can polarize the public and we need to also remember you know that in the previous election in 2019 the BJP used the National Security PL that was one of the many factors for their Victory so it won’t be surprising if this issue catch the Heat and in maybe few hours or days from now um I’m curious I mean of course it’s a big country but how how is the seek separatist movement perceived by most people in India uh so there is almost no resonance on the ground for the six separatist movement in India Melissa I have reported on this issue from the Northern State of Punjab which is a siik dominated State and what I have witnessed that the whole separatist movement khalistani movement has taken a backseat and mostly because there are more pressing issues like there is unemployment there is a fora distress and there’s a drug epidemic so people are not actually interested in these for this Kalani movement issue so however there are some radical six separatist groups who keep the sentiment alive but it doesn’t get uh any traction by the locals so we can say I mean uh there are Pockets where you can find sympathy sympathizers for the M but they’re not active at all so but what is interesting is that movement has resonance internationally the S diaspora especially in Canada and in the UK where six have migrated during the heights of Insurgency in the 1980s got it adal bot thank you so much for joining us thank you

  1. Google algorithm is Indian Modi made use of murky gangs and gang wars to further this assassination of him who is on the terrorist list, likely it is true. Evidence is plenty, Americans have electronic evidence on the complete case of Pannu. Trouble is all nations assassinate, geopolitics is very messy. There is sometimes no right or wrong in politics

  2. Osama Bin Laden said on his publicly released video tape, he knows one day, he will be killed. Betrayed and unforgiving, the cat knows what it has eaten.

  6. India will continue doing this, if Western countries continue to use remote-controlled puppets as agents for subversion.
    There's more to come, stay on guard.

  7. MY message to all my Indian freinds
    ❤Instead of listening to western hypocrites & being enemy of each other INDIA & CHINA should understand not let one evil stone kill both. But learn & help each other to grow together side by side and make asian century ❤

  8. This channel needs to hire others who aren’t in support of the Indian government to get real facts, the Sikhs in India are currently dormant only because of transnational violence once that stops then watch Sikhs are quite in India only because of the pressure by the HinduShaitan government, they’re scared if this continues the Sikhs in India will join their brothers and sisters who are fighting in western countries for their freedom and homeland called Khalistan

  10. Nijjar and the Killers were from Punjab, India. They were terrorists and criminals. The three guys who killed him belong to rival gang. There million Khalistanisni groups and they all fight with each other. One story nobody knoww about it Original Khalistanisni leader Biddenwala and Former PM Indira Gandhi was in a relationship after her husband died and when they broke up things wwnt down hill.

  12. Keeping snakes 🐍 in the backyard & thinking it only harm others is such a foolish thing..! One day Canada 🍁 will learn it hard way even though wish that day never arrives!

  14. Unfortunately Trudeau has no problem at all to worry about except Khalistan! 😂🤣😂 Bro thinks he runs India! How does Khalistan going to benefit Canada? Enlighten me! 😂🤣😂

  15. I am a Canadian citizen of an immigrant background. I couldn’t care less about this Nijjar guy and Khalistan lol. They can fight for their cause in India not in Canada

  17. When Canada opened doors for Indian Gangs, what else did they expect? Interestingly, these three Indians did not leave the country after crime and the police took over 9 months to make an arrest?

  18. A false blame by Canada on India. Today’s India will deal this problem by making Canada like Pakistan irrelevant to India’s interests. So time will expose this in days ahead.

  21. If USA wasn't there, India would have taught Canada a big lesson. Looks like Canada is gonna learn it, in some future time. It's extremely religious people are going to be problem for it

  23. What a dumb police Canada has. Do they think Ajit Doval will let the murderers stay in Canada all these time to get them caught?

  25. Canada has been assiduously giving visa to criminals from Punjab India over the last 30 years to cultivate sedition and terrorism in the name of Khalistan. Now to control them is their headache.

  27. Canada has become the Pakistan of West.
    Where they give safe heaven to Terrorists, by giving them descent labels like activist , separatist leader etc 😢😢😢
    This man was a most wanted in the list of Interpol (which is a group of multi nation Investigative agencies).

  41. These separatists are involved in drug trade. Thats how they fund their separatist activities. Obviously they get into drug wars
