In late September, after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his administration had credible evidence that the Indian government was involved in the killing of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia, Bains said the Sergeant-at-Arms conducted a security assessment at her home and urged her to take precautions. The FBI contacted her about the threats in her office in October, Bains said.
The Sikhs Reuters spoke to described experiencing online harassment; surveillance at their homes and places of worship; the release of personal details online or doxxing, and"swatting," filing a false police report to trigger a law enforcement response. India has denied involvement in Nijjar's killing and the attempted assassination of Pannun. It has pledged to investigate the plot against Pannun, but not Nijjar.
The Indian embassy in Washington and Modi's office did not respond to repeated requests for comment. Verma did not respond to an email on questions about threats against Sikh separatists and other activists or the criminal cases in Canada and the United States. "Wherever you run, I will come there, enter it and kill you," according to a May 7 email in Hindi reviewed by Reuters.
On the June 18 anniversary of Nijjar's killing, one account on X wrote in Hindi that it was time to"plan your murder." Another X account wrote:"RIP Pritpal." Reuters saw screen shots of both messages, which his family reported to the FBI.Nate Schenkkan, senior director of research at the Washington, D.C.
