Four Indian nationals—Karan Brar, Amandeep Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karanpreet Singh—accused of murdering Khalistani leader Hardeep Nijjar in Surrey, British Columbia, in June 2023, have been granted bail by a Canadian court. They face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. Arrested in May 2024 by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP), the men are currently released under a "stay of proceedings" while awaiting trial. The case has been moved to the British Columbia Supreme Court, bypassing a preliminary inquiry through a "direct indictment." A publication ban has been imposed on pre-trial proceedings. The murder of Nijjar attracted global attention after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused India of being involved, though India denied the allegations. The case has strained India-Canada relations, particularly concerning Khalistani extremism, and has polarized the Sikh diaspora in Canada. The trial's next hearing is set for February 11, 2025.
