A new Bloomberg documentary claims British intelligence helped Canada link India to the killing of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June 2023. The report says the UK’s GCHQ intercepted calls discussing three targets — Nijjar, Avtar Singh Khanda, and Gurpatwant Singh Pannun.

India has rejected all allegations as false and politically motivated. Relations between India and Canada have slowly improved after diplomatic tensions last year. (PC: The Hindu)
