Story summary

Two B.C. residents, Manjinder Singh and Narinder Singh Randhawa, who are supporters of Khalistan, a movement for an independent Sikh state, received warnings from police that their lives were in danger. The RCMP issued a duty-to-warn notice to Singh last week after he organized a monthly rally outside the Indian consulate in Vancouver. Meanwhile, Surrey police warned Randhawa over the weekend. Both men blame the Indian government for the threats, which they believe are part of a campaign of "transnational repression" against Khalistan supporters in Canada. The 2023 killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was also a Khalistan supporter, is cited as an example of this alleged persecution.
