India recalls top Canada envoy as row over Nijjar killing deepens

India rejects ‘preposterous imputations’ after saying it received communication from Canada that its diplomats are ‘persons of interest’ in investigation.

India says it is withdrawing its top envoy to Ottawa and other diplomats because the Canadian government is investigating them as “persons of interest” in an investigation, reigniting a diplomatic row over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader last year.

India-Canada relations have been tense since September 2023 when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Canada had credible evidence to link Indian agents to the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil earlier that year.
