Canadian law enforcement officials have accused the Indian government of operating a criminal network in Canada, aiming to intimidate Sikh separatists amid escalating diplomatic tensions.
Officials revealed that a persona non grata note was issued to India's High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, alongside the expulsion of several other diplomats implicated in alleged extortion and homicide.
In a retaliatory action, India announced the expulsion of six Canadian diplomats, stating concerns over a perceived atmosphere of extremism and violence threatening its personnel in Canada.
The diplomatic crisis stems from the assassination of a Sikh cleric in Canada in June 2023, which Canada claims was orchestrated by the Indian government amid tensions surrounding the Sikh separatist Khalistan movement.
