Indian media has accused Pakistani agencies of involvement in the murder of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada, despite ongoing investigations implicating Indian intelligence operatives.
On September 18 last year, the Canadian government alleged India's involvement in Nijjar's killing. The Canadian authorities have already arrested several operatives of India's Research and Analysis Wing (RAW) in connection with the case.
The United States has also confirmed India's involvement in the assassination attempt of another Sikh leader, Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, further corroborating suspicions of Indian intelligence activities abroad.
During the investigation, Canada expelled an Indian diplomat suspected of being a RAW station chief operating under diplomatic cover.
These developments contradict the Indian media's claims of Pakistani involvement in Nijjar's murder. The accusations appear to be unsubstantiated, as both Canadian and US investigations have focused on Indian intelligence activities.
This incident is not the first time Indian media has been accused of spreading misinformation. Critics argue that such propaganda aims to deflect attention from India's alleged involvement in extraterritorial operations targeting Sikh activists.
