World Sikh Organization and National Council of Canadian Muslims say India must cooperate with Canada in investigating murder of Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who Ottawa says may have been killed by Indian government agents in British Columbia.
A US official said Trudeau was in contact with President Joe Biden's administration about Canada's findings before raising them publicly.
Canada has yet to provide any evidence of Indian involvement, but if true it would mark a major shift for India, whose security and intelligence branches have long been significant players in South Asia, and are suspected in a number of killings in Pakistan. India, though, has accused Canada for years of giving free rein to Sikh separatists, including Nijjar.
Avtar Singh Khanda, who played a prominent role in protests for an independent Sikh homeland, died in June in the English city of Birmingham after falling ill.
