Hardeep Singh Nagar, a pro-Khalistan Sikh leader, was killed in British Columbia, Canada last year, and last year a conspiracy was hatched to kill Sikh leader Graptunat Singh Pannu, who holds American and Canadian citizenship. In this regard, the United States and Canada investigated together and learned about the presence of two Indian citizens behind the conspiracy to kill Panna. In this regard, India’s attitude now appears to be double.
The Indian leadership is refusing to cooperate with Canada in the investigation of the murder of Hardeep Singh Nagar, while it is cooperating with the United States in the investigation regarding the conspiracy to kill Gurptunat Singh Pannu.
What is the reason for this difference in the attitude of the Indian leadership? Canada’s non-cooperation in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nagar has affected bilateral relations and both countries have also expelled each other’s embassies. Only one murder case has brought the two countries against each other.
Nikhil Gupta, who is involved in the conspiracy to kill Gurptunat Singh Pannu, has been arrested in the Czech Republic and brought to America, while Vikash Yadav has been arrested in Delhi. The US Department of Justice has indicted both of them.
America has done a lot of work on Vikash Yadav. Vikash hails from Pranpura, Haryana and has been associated with India’s central secret agency ‘RA’. His code was Neem Amanat and he planned the murder along with Nikhil Gupta.
US investigators have said that Vikash Yadav got the video of the killing of Hardeep Singh Nagar on June 18 and sent it to Nikhil Gupta a few hours later.
The American authorities cooperated with Canada in the cases of both the Sikh leaders, but it is very surprising that the Indian leadership is cooperating with the US but completely ignoring Canada.
