India has rejected a Canadian media report linking two Indian officials to the 2023 killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The Globe and Mail reported that two officials who were earlier posted in India's consulate general in Vancouver were allegedly involved in the killing.
India's external affairs ministry secretary P Kumaran said the claims are 'baseless, politically motivated and unsupported by credible evidence'.
The criminal investigation in the case is proceeding according to established legal procedures, and proceedings have entered the pre-trial phase.
India believes that sensitive matters under judicial considerations are best allowed to proceed through established legal processes without public commentary.
