Amid an escalating row over the murder of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, India expelled a senior Canadian diplomat on Tuesday in retaliation for Canada's expulsion of an Indian diplomat on Monday. The two countries have traded accusations over possible links to Nijjar's killing. India's move reflects growing concerns over perceived Canadian interference in India's internal affairs and engagement in anti-India activities. The expelled Canadian diplomat has been given 5 days to leave as diplomatic tensions continue to rise between the two countries over the high-profile murder case.
