US Prosecutors Indict Indian Crime Boss for Ordering Murder of Canadian Sikh Separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar
The United States Department of Justice unsealed a federal indictment charging Indian gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi and his deputy with orchestrating the 2023 murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Prosecutors allege that the jailed crime boss directed the assassination from prison, an act that has escalated international diplomatic tensions between India and Canada. In a related move, federal authorities in Los Angeles announced a sweeping crackdown on an India-based criminal network linked to the killing. This enforcement action targets gangs accused of carrying out violent operations across borders. The charges represent a significant step in the investigation into how foreign criminal groups operate within North America.
