British Columbia Premier Sees No Indian Government Role in Extortion Violence Amid India-Canada Relations Reset

British Columbia Premier David Eby stated his government has no information linking the Indian government to extortion-related violence involving the Lawrence Bishnoi gang, designated a terrorist entity by Canada last year. While past tensions arose after the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and accusations against India, relations have improved under Prime Minister Mark Carney, with recent bilateral meetings focusing on broader cooperation rather than specific security incidents. Surrey remains a key area affected by extortion issues.
