Another Indian national arrested in Canada over Sikh activist murder

Canadian police have arrested another Indian national over the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar last year.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced Saturday that they have taken Amandeep Singh, 22, into their custody over allegation of his involvement in the Nijjar's killing.

Singh, who resided in Brampton, Surrey and Abbotsford, was charged with the murder.

Earlier this month, Canadian police arrested and charged three Indian men in the city of Edmonton in Alberta.

Nijjar, 45, was shot dead in June outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, a Vancouver suburb with a large Sikh population. A few months later, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cited what he said was evidence of potential Indian government involvement, prompting a diplomatic crisis with New Delhi.
