Canadian authorities have arrested three Indian nationals and charged them with the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Sikh separatist leader whom Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged was killed with the help of Indian government agents.

The officials said their investigation has not concluded and “others” played a role in the homicide. The three have been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Nijjar, 45, was fatally shot in June 2023.
