 The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has accused the Indian government of collaborating with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to target pro-Khalistani elements in Canada. During a press conference, RCMP Assistant Commissioner Brigitte Gauvin stated that India was using organized crime elements to spread terror, specifically targeting the South Asian community. She claimed the Bishnoi group was connected to agents of the Indian government.

India has strongly denied these allegations, calling them “preposterous” and accusing the Canadian government of pushing a political agenda. In a statement, the Indian foreign ministry said the claims were part of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s vote bank politics. The situation comes at a time when India is investigating the Lawrence Bishnoi gang for its involvement in the murder of NCP leader Baba Siddique.

Tensions between India and Canada have been rising, with diplomatic relations reaching a new low. Both countries have expelled each other’s diplomats, with India expelling six Canadian diplomats in response to Canada naming Indian diplomats as “persons of interest” in the killing of pro-Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. India has criticized Canada’s actions as being politically motivated.

The strained relations began last year when Trudeau claimed to have evidence linking Indian agents to Nijjar’s assassination. The RCMP’s recent allegations have added further strain to the relationship between the two countries, with both sides exchanging accusations amidst an ongoing investigation.
