RCMP has issued “duty to warn” letters to at least two Canadian Sikh activists, according to reporting from Winnipeg and Toronto outlets. The letters warn the activists that their lives are under threat due to their involvement in efforts described as supporting the creation of an independent Sikh state in India.
The two sources describe the warnings in Canada’s B.C. and Ontario as part of police communication intended to alert individuals to potential danger. While both reports focus on the existence of the letters and the stated basis for the warnings, they do not provide the specific details of the alleged threat, who is responsible, or what evidence police cite in the public reporting. The story centers on the police action—issuing duty-to-warn notices—rather than on any announced arrest or criminal charges.
Both outlets frame the situation as an alert to personal safety connected to the activists’ political or advocacy activity tied to Sikh independence efforts abroad, with the broader context being law-enforcement concern over threats reaching Canadian residents.
