India expelled a senior Canadian diplomat on Tuesday, slamming “absurd and motivated” claims that New Delhi had a part to play in an extra-judicial slaying of a Sikh activist in Canada.

Canadian intelligence agencies have been actively pursuing credible links between Indian government agents and the murder of Canadian Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a Sikh cultural center in British Columbia, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told a Parliament seating in Ottawa on Monday.

Nijjar, a strong supporter of an independent Sikh homeland named Khalistan, was killed on June 18.
