Relations between India and Canada have sunk to historic lows in the latest diplomatic spat, with India rejecting the Canadian police allegations as ludicrous”.

Behind the rupture The issue, the claims and what's at stake

How did the affair begin?

India and Canada had enjoyed relatively close ties until last year, when a Sikh activist, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was born in India but had become a Canadian citizen, was shot dead outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, British Columbia.

Nijjar had campaigned for an independent Sikh nation, known as Khalistan, to be carved out of Punjab state. The movement is banned in India. Nijjar was wanted by Indian authorities and had been designated a terrorist in July 2020.

In September, Trudeau took the unusual step of publicly stating there was "credible" information linking Indian government agents to the murder.

India vehemently rejected the allegations as "absurd" and accused Canada of harbouring terrorists. India then expelled a senior Canadian diplomat and ordered Canada to remove 41 diplomats from its embassy in Delhi. It also suspended all visa applications for Canadians.

Earlier this year, Canadian police arrested three Indian nationals accused of being part of the hit squad that killed Nijjar and said they were "investigating if there are any ties to the government of India".

India rejected the allegations.

What are the latest allegations?

Definitely maybe: Slot looks imperious at Anfield but could Guardiola be forced from Etihad?
