| US President Joe Biden and other Western leaders expressed concern to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi about Canadian claims that New Delhi was involved in the murder of a Sikh separatist in Canada when they met the Indian leader at the G20 summit this month.
The leaders intervened at the G20 summit after Canada urged its allies to raise the case directly with Mr Modi, said two sources, who added Ottawa asked them to mention the claims in private.that Indian government “agents” were behind the murder of Nijjar, who was killed in Surrey, a suburb of Vancouver, in June.The explosive claim, which New Delhi has dismissed as “absurd”, immediately cratered Canada-India relations.
One source said Washington concluded it would have been inappropriate to weigh in publicly before the announcement because of possible legal implications for the Canadian investigation.
