The row between India and Canada has deepened over the killing of a Sikh separatist leader after New Delhi suspended visa services for Canadian citizens.
India has suspended visa services for Canadian citizens from Thursday, visa consultancy service provider BLS International said on its website, citing a notice from the Indian mission.
