Tensions Rise as Canada and India Clash Over Surveillance and Terrorism Allegations

Canada's allegation of Indian involvement in the killing of a Sikh leader is reportedly supported by evidence gathered from surveillance of Indian diplomats in Canada. The evidence, obtained from intercepted communications, was provided to Canada by another member of the "Five-Eyes" intelligence sharing alliance. Canadian officials have repeatedly sought India's cooperation in investigating the murder, but India has denied involvement publicly while not doing so in closed-door meetings. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has indicated that his government will not publicly release the evidence, allowing judicial processes to unfold with integrity.
