Canadian leader Justin Trudeau says ‘credible’ intelligence linked Indian government to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June
Western intelligence agencies spied on India to amass evidence of its alleged plot to assassinate a dissident on Canadian soil, according to a new report.
Justin Trudeau, the Canadian prime minister, announced this week that “credible” intelligence linked the Indian government to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, in British Columbia earlier in 2023.
The intelligence was gathered by human spies and intercepting communication networks during a months-long investigation by Canada and its allies, according to broadcaster CBC News.
Canadian government sources told the network that the intelligence involved Indian government officials’ communications, including diplomats posted in Canada.
