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.
