US Charges Indian Gang Leader in Sikh Separatist's Killing

US authorities have charged imprisoned Indian gang leader Lawrence Bishnoi and Goldy Brar in connection with the 2023 killing of Canadian Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The charges were announced as part of an FBI operation, dubbed 'Operation Hard Ball', which involved more than 50 raids across the United States, Canada and Europe. The FBI is targeting the Bishnoi network, and two individuals have been detained. The operation underscores cross-border efforts to dismantle the gang's activities.
