Amid India-Canada row over Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing, reports said Indian agencies had informed Canada about his terrorism record and fake asylum bid in 1997. Nijjar had claimed asylum fearing persecution for his "social group". But it was rejected over fabricated narrative. He then went to Canada on a forged passport as Ravi Sharma. After rejection, Nijjar reportedly arranged a sham "marriage" for immigration in 11 days. This too was denied as his "wife" had come to Canada sponsored by another man in 1997. Nijjar appealed the rejections in Canadian courts while claiming citizenship. He got citizenship by unclear means. An Interpol Red Corner Notice against Nijjar over a dozen murder and terror cases was issued in 2014. Details were shared with Canada but no action taken except a no-fly list. India informed about all of Nijjar's crimes but Canada didn't act, per reports.
