Canadian cops warn pro-Khalistan movement critic of threat to his life

Maninder Singh Gill, managing director of Radio India, told the Hindustan Times that these alerts, or duty of warn notices, were given to him by officers from the Surrey detachment of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) in 2023 and 2024.

He said, "They told me my life was in danger because I'm a controversial person in the community since I oppose the Khalistanis."

The first duty to warn was received in April 2023. The notice stated, "The police have determined by way of one or more investigative avenues that your life may be in peril. At this time, we are unable to provide you specific details of the threat," according to a copy that was shared with the Hindustan Times.
