India and Canada expelled a half-dozen of the other’s diplomats on Monday after accusations that Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government was involved in « homicides, extortion, and violent acts » on Canadian soil. The criminal activity had centered on supporters of the pro-Khalistan movement, which seeks a separate homeland for Sikhs in India, Canadian police said. The killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a separatist leader, last year in British Columbia was part of the campaign, the reports. India called the accusations « preposterous », per the BBC.
