Three men charged with killing Sikh separatist leader appear in Canadian court

THREE Indian men charged with killing Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia last year have appeared in court in the case that set off a diplomatic spat between Canada and India.

Canadian police had arrested the three Indian men last week in Edmonton, Alberta, and they have been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder.

Canadian Mounted Police Superintendent Mandeep Mooker said on Friday that the investigation into whether the men had ties to India’s government was ongoing.
