India is currently collaborating with Canada in the investigation of Hardeep Singh Nijjar’s murder, as confirmed by Thomas, former National Security Advisor of Canada. In an interview given to a local news outlet on January 26, Thomas disclosed the ongoing progress in bilateral discussions regarding the case, emphasizing the recent positive developments in diplomatic relations between India and Canada. The probe into Nijjar’s murder, linked to extremist activities in British Columbia, has seen increased cooperation from India, leading to acknowledgment from Canadian authorities.

The Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, had previously raised concerns about strained relations between the two nations over various issues. However, India dismissed allegations related to the investigation as ‘baseless and unsubstantiated.’ The Indian government has not officially responded to Thomas’s recent comments on India’s collaboration in the investigation. Nijjar’s murder has been a source of tension, with Canada accusing India of non-cooperation and providing inadequate evidence or information on the alleged involvement of Indian agents. India maintains that it has not received any credible evidence or information from Canada to substantiate these claims.
