India has withdrawn its High Commissioner to Canada, Sanjay Verma, and expelled six Canadian diplomats in response to accusations linking Indian officials to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a Canada-based separatist leader. The Ministry of External Affairs strongly rejected these allegations, calling them "preposterous imputations" and accusing the Canadian government of using the situation for political gain. Canada has yet to provide concrete evidence regarding the claims. India expressed concerns over extremism and violence against Indian diplomats, warning of further retaliatory actions.
