U.S. Prosecutors Say Gangs, Not India, Ordered Nijjar Killing

American prosecutors have named Lawrence Bishnoi, a gang leader, as the architect of Hardeep Singh Nijjar's 2023 murder in Surrey. The theory shifts focus from Indian state involvement to organized crime. Ottawa refuses to say if it still maintains that Indian agents were involved — a distinction that will shape the upcoming criminal trial and efforts to repair Canadian-Indian relations.
