OTTAWA — The High Commissioner of India to Canada says India “will take action” depending on the outcome of a court case involving four Indian nationals accused of murder in the killing of a prominent Sikh activist in British Columbia. “I have been saying from the very beginning, and I reiterated it right now, the case is in court. There’s a court case going on, Canada needs to put the case in the court, that’s all,” he said. Recently, an Indian national pleaded guilty in a murder-for-hire plot that targeted a Sikh activist in New York City who U.S. prosecutors said was directed by an Indian government employee. Citing a lack of cooperation from India, Canada expelled six of its diplomats, including India’s high commissioner, whom officials had identified as persons of interest in the Nijjar case.
