The UK said on Tuesday it is closely engaged with Canada regarding Ottawa's "serious allegations" of Indian government involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia. A UK spokesperson stated they are in touch with Canadian partners about the claims but it would be improper to comment further during Canada's ongoing investigation. This comes after Canada accused Indian agents of links to Nijjar's killing and expelled an Indian diplomat, which India dismissed as "absurd" and instead urged action against anti-India elements in Canada. The UK is closely monitoring the diplomatic tensions between Canada and India stemming from the high-profile murder allegations.
