Yeah Since Gurpatwant Singh Pannun is considered a Sikh Nationalist and a Terrorist by the Indian Government, I didn't think they willingly hand over those involved with the Proposed Assassination.

..."The Supreme Court judges said that under international law, Mr Gupta would be entitled to consular assistance from India. But senior advocate C Aryama Sundaram, who represented Mr Gupta's relative, said that he had been provided consular access only before the extradition order and that his client needed "some cooperation" from India's foreign ministry.
The court then said that he was free to approach the Indian government.
The charges against Mr Gupta came months after Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his country was looking at "credible allegations potentially linking" Indian government agents to the murder of a Sikh separatist leader in British Columbia. India has rejected the allegations and called them "absurd".
India has, however, said it will look into any evidence provided on its alleged links to the assassination plot in the US.
"If a citizen of ours has done anything good or bad, we are ready to look into it. Our commitment is to the rule of law," Prime Minister Narendra Modi told the Financial Times last month."
