Report: Indian Consulate Staff Linked to Canadian Activist's Killing
Canadian security officials say Indian consular staff in Vancouver allegedly aided the 2023 killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, fueling diplomatic tensions with India.
- On March 2, 2026, Canadian national-security officials presented evidence that Indian consular staff in Vancouver supplied information facilitating Hardeep Singh Nijjar's assassination as Mark Carney met Narendra Modi in New Delhi.
- Earlier probes show that Canadian authorities noted credible allegations linking Indian consulate staff to Nijjar's killing, prompting investigations and diplomatic tensions.
- Investigators say an alleged visa officer, identified as Kanwaljit Singh, collected information from the Surrey diaspora and relayed it to Vikash Yadav of RAW, who then passed it to the Lawrence Bishnoi gang.
- The fallout has included criminal charges, with four Indian citizens facing first-degree murder and conspiracy, and Canada seeking to withhold sensitive evidence.
- India has strongly denied the allegations, saying Vikash Yadav, alleged RAW officer, is a rogue agent despite his naming in a U.S. indictment and listing on the FBI Most Wanted List.
