Tensions Rise as Canada-India Row Over Murdered Sikh Threatens Western Alliances
TL;DR
The FBI has warned Sikh activists in the U.S. about death threats following the killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

Sikh activists in the U.S. have received police warnings about potential threats, and there are concerns that India may target Sikh dissidents on U.S. soil.
