Malaysia deports 2 Indian separatist suspects

Malaysian police have deported two Indian nationals suspected of involvement in an explosion on a railway line in Punjab, India. The case has been linked by Indian media to the Khalistan separatist movement, which seeks an independent Sikh homeland. The Royal Malaysia Police stated the duo were sent back to India on Wednesday after Indian authorities requested assistance in locating and arresting them. M. Kumar S. Muthuvelu, director of the police's criminal investigation department, confirmed the deportation.
