India has expelled six Canadian diplomats and recalled its High Commissioner from Ottawa, signaling a major diplomatic rift. The move follows Canada's allegations linking Indian diplomats to the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, which India denies. Canada's RCMP claims Indian agents worked with criminal groups to target pro-Khalistani elements. In response, India criticized the baseless accusations, expressing concern over the safety of its diplomats due to rising extremism. Relations between the two nations have deteriorated since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September last year.
