    The release, which can be a setback for the Canadian government, comes amid churn in Canadian politics. Critics claimed that delays and lack of substantial evidence have undermined Canada's position on the matter.

    Four Indian citizens - Karan Brar, Amandeep Singh, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh - are facing charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. The trial has been transferred to British Columbia Supreme Court, with the next hearing set for February 11.

    In May 2024, Royal Canadian Mounted Police arrested the four men across different locations in Canada. But the prosecution faced criticism for delays in presenting evidence during preliminary hearings. Outgoing Canadian PM Justin Trudeau had accused India of being involved in the murder. India has denied the allegations, calling them "baseless".

    An official from the British Colombia Prosecution Service said, "Some pre-trial motions will be held before the actual trial, but we cannot provide an estimate yet regarding the duration of the pre-trial period."

      The relations between India and Canada came under severe strain after Trudeau's allegations in September 2023 of a potential involvement of Indian agents in Nijjar's killing.

      The investigation into the Nijjar's killing led to a major diplomatic row between Canada and India in October after the then Trudeau government dragged the name of Sanjay Verma in the case, following which the Indian government withdrew the high commissioner and other diplomats from the country. New Delhi also expelled six Canadian diplomats, including acting high commissioner Stewart Ross Wheeler.
