Canada’s prime minister has mentioned Canadian safety businesses are investigating “credible allegations of a potential link” between Indian authorities brokers and the killing of a outstanding Sikh-Canadian activist earlier this 12 months.

Speaking in Parliament on Monday afternoon, Justin Trudeau mentioned he personally conveyed his nation’s “deep concerns” to his Indian counterpart, Narendra Modi, at the Group of 20 summit in New Delhi earlier this month.

Hardeep Singh Nijjar was fatally shot on June 18 outdoors a Sikh temple in Surrey, a metropolis in Canada’s westernmost province of British Columbia.

“Any involvement of a foreign government in the killing of a Canadian citizen on Canadian soil is an unacceptable violation of our sovereignty,” Trudeau mentioned on Monday.

“In the strongest possible terms, I continue to urge the government of India to cooperate with Canada to get to the bottom of this matter.”

The Indian authorities didn’t instantly touch upon the allegations.

This is a breaking story. More to comply with.
