Canadian police make arrests in prominent Sikh activist’s killing

Police have made arrests in connection with the killing of a prominent Sikh separatist leader.
 
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead last June by masked gunmen in a busy car park in a Vancouver suburb.
 
His killing sparked a major diplomatic row between India and Canada, with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accusing India's government of involvement in the murder.
 
Delhi strongly denied the allegation.
 
Police will hold a press conference later on Friday addressing the months-long investigation into the killing.
 
Mr. Nijjar was a Sikh separatist leader who publicly campaigned for Khalistan - the creation of an independent Sikh homeland in the Punjab region of India.
