India suspends visa services in Canada as rift widens over killing

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said there are ‘credible allegations’ of Indian involvement in the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

India’s visa processing centre in Canada suspended its services on Thursday as a rift between the countries widened after Canada’s leader said India may have been involved in the killing of a Canadian citizen.

It called the allegations being investigated in Canada absurd and an attempt to shift attention from the presence of Mr Nijjar and other wanted suspects in Canada. Mr Nijjar was working to organise an unofficial referendum among the Sikh diaspora on independence from India at the time of his killing. He had denied India’s accusation that he was a terrorist.
