India has rejected a Canadian media report linking two Indian officials to the 2023 killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The report, citing two unidentified sources, claimed 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, called the allegations 'baseless, politically motivated and unsupported by credible evidence.'
He added that concerns of this nature must be addressed through credible law enforcement and judicial processes, not through public or politicised narratives.
The criminal investigation in the case is proceeding according to established legal procedures, and proceedings have entered the pre-trial phase.
India has consistently maintained its commitment to the judicial process and believes that sensitive matters under judicial considerations are best allowed to proceed through established legal processes without public commentary.
