The High Commissioner of India to Canada, Dinesh K. Patnaik, stated that India will respond based on the court’s ruling in a case involving four Indian nationals accused of murdering Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. Patnaik emphasized that both countries will share evidence if available and reaffirmed India’s willingness to cooperate in the ongoing investigation. Relations between Canada and India have soured since Prime Minister Trudeau’s claims of a potential link between Indian government agents and Nijjar’s murder. Recent meetings between Indian and Canadian officials aimed to improve collaboration on various issues, including transnational crime.
