India’s Bloody Trail in America: From Brazen Abduction to the Brutal Assassination of Avtar Singh in California

The world is currently witnessing a terrifying and lawless expansion of state-sponsored terrorism. For decades, the Indian government has operated with a sense of total entitlement within its own borders, but now, that violence has spilled onto the streets of Western democracies. We are no longer talking about “allegations” or “diplomatic disputes.” We are talking about a cold-blooded, systematic campaign of murder. From the quiet suburbs of Canada to the busy roads of California, Sikh activists are being hunted like prey by death squads acting on behalf of the Indian state.

1. The 2026 California Horror: No Safety in the United States

The most recent bloodstain on this timeline appeared on February 17, 2026, in Tracy, California. Avtar Singh, a 57-year-old man who dedicated his life to serving his community at the Gurdwara Guru Nanak Parkash, was snatched from his life in broad daylight. This was not a random crime. CCTV footage and eyewitnesses describe a professional operation: three men in dark clothing, moving with military precision, abducted a father of six-month-old triplets.

When his body was dumped near State Highway 128 near Lake Berryessa, the message was sent to every Sikh in the United States: “We can find you, we can grab you, and we can kill you.” Avtar Singh had lived in the USA for over 20 years. He was a peaceful volunteer. His only “crime” in the eyes of the Indian state was his identity and his support for Sikh self-determination. By carrying out this hit on American soil, India has shown a disgusting level of arrogance, betting that the U.S. government will value trade deals over the life of a Sikh man. This is a brutal wake-up call for the FBI and the Department of Justice.

2. Hardeep Singh Nijjar: The Execution That Exposed the Truth

If the world needed a smoking gun, it got one on June 18, 2023. Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent leader of the Khalistan movement and a Canadian citizen, was executed outside his place of worship in Surrey, British Columbia. He was pumped with bullets in a coordinated ambush. For months, India tried to play the victim, calling Nijjar a “terrorist” to justify his death. But the truth could not be buried.

In September 2023, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau did something no Western leader had dared to do: he stood in Parliament and pointed the finger directly at the Indian government. The evidence was so overwhelming that Canada expelled high-ranking Indian diplomats. By October 2024, six more Indian diplomats were kicked out after the RCMP linked them to a wider network of homicides and extortions. The arrest of three Indian nationals in May 2024 proved that India was using its embassies as command centers for hitmen. Hardeep Singh Nijjar was murdered because he organized a peaceful referendum. India’s response to a vote was a bullet.

3. The New York Conspiracy: A Failed State-Sponsored Hit

While Nijjar was being buried in Canada, another murder was being planned in New York. In November 2023, U.S. prosecutors exposed a plot to assassinate Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, the legal advisor for Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). The evidence was undeniable. An Indian government official was caught directing a middleman to hire a hitman. They even discussed the timing of the murder to coincide with high-level diplomatic meetings.

This was not a rogue operation; it was a state-level conspiracy. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is an American lawyer. The fact that India felt comfortable ordering a hit on a lawyer in Manhattan shows that they no longer fear the consequences of international law. They view the United States not as a sovereign ally, but as a playground for their intelligence agencies. The U.S. indictment stripped away India’s mask of “democracy” and revealed a regime that uses assassination as a primary tool of foreign policy.

4. The UK Connection: Poison, Threats, and “Osman Warnings”

The reach of India’s intelligence wings extends deep into the United Kingdom. The suspicious death of Avtar Singh Khanda in June 2023 remains a dark cloud over the British Sikh community. Khanda died suddenly, and while officials claimed natural causes, his family and supporters pointed to the suspicious timing—he died just days before Nijjar. The fear of poisoning is a real and present danger for activists in the UK.

The British police have even started issuing Osman warnings to Sikh activists—official notices telling them that there is a “threat to life.” When the West Midlands police have to tell citizens that they might be murdered by foreign agents, the system has failed. India has successfully exported its atmosphere of fear to London, Birmingham, and Leicester. They use media manipulation and fake social media accounts to label anyone who speaks up for Sikh rights as an “extremist,” providing the social cover they need to carry out their violence.

5. The Pattern of Transnational Repression

This is a global strategy of silencing dissent. India’s approach is simple: if you cannot defeat the argument for Khalistan or Sikh rights intellectually, you kill the people making the argument. They use a combination of:

• Targeted Killings: Using local criminals or imported hitmen to do the dirty work.
• Diplomatic Immunity: Using embassy staff to gather intelligence on the 770,000 Sikhs in Canada and the millions more in the UK and USA.
• Digital Warfare: Flooding the internet with disinformation to turn public opinion against the victims.
• Economic Pressure: Threatening Western governments with trade losses if they investigate these murders too deeply.

6. Stop the Butcher’s Bill

The murder of Avtar Singh in 2026 must be the final straw. For too long, the world has looked the other way while India hunted Sikhs across the globe. This “Shadow War” is a stain on the conscience of every democratic nation. We cannot talk about the “rule of law” while allowing a foreign government to run death squads in our cities.

The international community must demand a full, independent inquiry into every one of these deaths. Sanctions must be placed on the officials who authorized these hits. If we do not stop India now, then no dissident, no activist, and no minority member is safe anywhere in the world. The lives of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Avtar Singh, and many others demand justice. We must stop the butcher’s bill before another family is destroyed by India’s state-sponsored terror. The time for silence is over; the time for accountability is now.
