Canada, which expelled six Indian diplomats over allegations they were involved in a plot against Sikh separatists, denied it had evidence Prime Minister Narendra Modi was linked to violence on Canadian soil.

In a big statement, Canada has denied any role of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, EAM S Jaishankar and NSA Ajit Doval in its internal matters over Nijjar killing.

Earlier, a bombshell report by Canadian media outlet Globe and Mail claimed that Canadian security agencies believed PM Modi was aware of the violent plots and added that Jaishankar and Indian National Security Adviser (NSA) Ajit Doval were also kept in loop.

Canadian media outlet The Globe and Mail, citing unnamed officials, had reported that Canadian and American intelligence agencies had found links to Indian Home Minister Amit Shah to the killing of Nijjar in June 2023.
