Judicial proceedings against the four people arrested for the murder of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in 2023, have made little progress. Since the arrests in May, the case has been adjourned five times and is now scheduled for November 21.

Sandeep Singh Sidhu, an employee of CBSA and a member of the banned International Sikh Youth Federation, is accused of promoting terrorist activities in Punjab.

The Canadian government, fully aware of Nijjar's involvement with ISI and his anti-India activities, placed him on a no-fly list to prevent his extradition.
