Indian Diplomat Challenges Canada's Probe into Sikh's Murder, Demands Evidence

India's High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Kumar Verma, has accused a high-level Canadian official of damaging the police probe into the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. Canada has alleged Indian involvement in the murder, which has sparked a diplomatic row between the two countries. Verma stated that the investigation has been tainted by public statements made by the Canadian official, but India has not been shown concrete evidence of Indian agents' involvement. Despite strained relations, India expressed a desire to expand business ties and return to the negotiating table on a trade deal with Canada.
