U.S. authorities charged Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar with ordering the alleged assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada and announced arrests connected to India-based organized crime groups. The case reaches Sikh communities and law-enforcement agencies across Canada, the United States, and Europe, while people named in the charges face serious unresolved allegations.

The prosecution can pursue accountability for Nijjar's killing, but due process requires that the allegations and evidence be tested before any finding of guilt. The charges remain allegations rather than convictions.
