Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma said India has not received any credible evidence from Canada or its allies to support the allegation that Indian agents were involved in the killing.
Canada's top Indian diplomat has demanded Ottawa produce evidence to substantiate its allegation that "Indian agents" killed Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in British Columbia, a claim that shattered bilateral ties between India and Canada when Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made it public in September.
Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma told The Globe and Mail that India has not received any credible evidence from Canada or its allies to support the allegation that Indian agents were involved in the June killing of Nijjar.
"There is no specific or relevant information provided in this case for us to assist them in the investigation," Mr Verma said. "Where is the evidence? Where is the conclusion of the investigation? I would go a step further and say now the investigation has already been tainted. A direction has come from someone at a high level to say India or Indian agents are behind it."
