Canadian Report Alleges Indian Officials' Link to Nijjar Killing; India Denies Claims

A Canadian newspaper, The Globe and Mail, reported that Indian consular staff in Vancouver allegedly provided information aiding the 2023 killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, citing unnamed Canadian security and law enforcement sources. The report names a visa officer and a consul general linked to India's intelligence agency RAW. India has categorically denied these allegations, calling them baseless and politically motivated, emphasizing that the case is under judicial investigation. The report coincided with talks between Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi aimed at strengthening bilateral ties.
