NEW DELHI: Canadian Police said on Thursday that it had arrested an Indo-Canadian man, Rajinder Kumar, in connection with the murder of a Khalistan supporter named Rabinder Singh Malhi.
The killing, which yet again amplified the tension between the two communities in Canada, was reported in Ontario on Nov 9.
Police also arrested Kumar’s wife, Sheetal Verma, on charges of obstruction of justice
The local police have not yet revealed the motive behind the murder but stated that Kumar and Malhi were acquainted with each other. However, what has raised questions and made the issue murky is the involvement of Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) in the case which has been insisting that “Hindutva elements” were involved in the killing. Others have called the arrest motivated, alleging that Kumar was held as part of Trudeau regime’s policy to appease Khalistanis.
SFJ chief and pro-Khalistan terrorist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun claimed on Wednesday that Kumar had been involved in heated exchanges with Malhi on WhatsApp after a Hindu Sabha temple priest, Rajinder Parsad, made inflammatory calls for violence on Nov 3. “The verbal argument on the group culminated in Kumar luring Malhi to his home and fatally stabbing him in a premeditated attack,” Pannun said, while insisting that Canadian Police should also have arrested Parsad.
Malhi (52), a resident of Brampton, was found injured at a residence on Deer Ridge Trail, north of Highway 410 and Hurontario Street, around 10pm on Nov 9, according to local media reports.
On Wednesday, Peel Regional Police announced the arrest of two persons, Rajinder Kumar (47) and Sheetal Verma (35), both of Caledon. Kumar has been charged with second-degree murder, while Verma is facing a charge of obstruction of justice. Kumar is in custody and scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on Nov 18.
Meanwhile, a video posted on X by a Canadian journalist has led to an uproar on social media showing a group of Khalistani elements marching around Surrey BC and shouting slogans such as “we are the owners of Canada”, “Canada is Khalistan” and “white people should go back to Europe and Israel”. The sloganeering attracted a sharp response from Canadian citizens who questioned how such elements were being allowed to frame policies in their country. People have tagged Canadian Police demanding action.
