"Unveiling the Dark Secrets: The Assassination of a Sikh Leader Exposes India's Covert Spy Agency"

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's claim that the murder of a Sikh activist in Canada was likely ordered by India and carried out by its foreign intelligence service has sparked a diplomatic crisis between the two countries. The assassination of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar has raised questions about the role of India's external intelligence agency, the Research and Analysis Wing (RAW), which has traditionally focused on regional operations. While RAW has a history of covert actions and influence operations, targeted assassinations have not been a known part of its modus operandi. However, experts suggest that under Prime Minister Narendra Modi, RAW has been given a more aggressive approach, with a "Doval doctrine" advocating for a tougher stance in intelligence operations. If Trudeau's allegations are true, it would be the first time that Indian intelligence has been directly linked to a targeted assassination on foreign soil.
