Protests erupt outside Kasba Police station as 3 arrested in alleged Kolkata college gang rape
In a further deterioration of bilateral relations, India summoned Canadian High Commissioner Cameron MacKay to inform him of its decision to expel a senior Canadian diplomat from the country. This move comes in response to Canada's expulsion of an Indian official in connection with the death of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
The Indian government has not disclosed the name of the expelled Canadian diplomat, but sources suggest it is Olivier Sylvestere, the Canadian intelligence agency's station chief in India.
This decision highlights India's growing concern over Canadian diplomats' interference in internal matters and their involvement in anti-India activities, according to the external affairs ministry.
India has vehemently rejected Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau's claims of potential links between Indian government agents and Nijjar's killing, considering the allegations absurd and motivated.
