    India-Canada diplomatic row

    Canada is home to the largest Sikh community outside India, a
    religious minority that lives mostly in the state of Punjab.

    Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed by two masked gunmen outside
    a Sikh temple he led in Surrey, British Columbia.

    He had been a vocal supporter of the Khalistan movement, which demands
    a separate Sikh homeland, and publicly campaigned for it.

    I believe India's motive was clear as a bell.

    US charges former Indian spy allegedly linked to foiled murder plot

    Justice department says Vikash Yadav, who remains at large, planned to
    murder a Sikh separatist in New York

    The United States has charged a former Indian intelligence officer who allegedly directed a foiled plot to murder a Sikh separatist in New
    York City last year.

    An indictment of Vikash Yadav was ordered to be unsealed on Thursday,
    court records showed. Yadav was a former officer in India's Research
    and Analysis Wing spy service, the records said. He remains at large.

    The murder-for-hire plot was first disclosed by federal prosecutors
    last year when they announced charges against a man, Nikhil Gupta, who
    was recruited by a then unidentified Indian government employee to
    orchestrate the assassination of the Sikh separatist leader Gurpatwant
    Singh Pannun, a US citizen.
