External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar responded to the recent developments in the case of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, expressing India's stance on the matter.

 

Jaishankar stated that India has not received any substantial evidence or information that warrants investigation by Indian agencies regarding Nijjar's killing.

 

During a press conference, Jaishankar reiterated India's openness to investigate any violence-related incidents if Canada provides relevant evidence.

 

He emphasised that India has not received any specific information worth pursuing by its investigative agencies, and there have been no recent developments in this regard.

 

Jaishankar highlighted the consular practice of informing the country of origin when arrests involve foreign nationals.

 

Regarding the killing of Nijjar last year in Canada's Surrey, he noted that India had included Nijjar's name in a list of designated terrorists along with 40 others.

 

Recent reports revealed that a fourth Indian national has been arrested in connection with Nijjar's killing, following the arrests of three others. Amandeep Singh, charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder, was among those arrested.

 

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously suggested Indian involvement in Nijjar's killing, a claim rejected by India as baseless and politically motivated. The case has caused strain in India's relations with Canada, prompting scrutiny and diplomatic exchanges between the two countries.
