'No proof, no facts': Former envoy Sanjay Verma on Nijjar case as US indictment clears India
Former Indian Ambassador to Canada Sanjay Verma defended India, calling allegations linking India to Hardeep Singh Nijjar's killing baseless and lacking proof.
Verma stated India consistently warned Canada about Khalistani extremist activities and rejected allegations as politically motivated.
A US federal investigation concluded that Nijjar's killing resulted from a gang war between two factions, with no Indian government, officials, or diplomats involved.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Police deputy commissioner confirmed no Indian officials or diplomats were charged or implicated in the killing.
Verma said former Canadian PM Justin Trudeau's allegations lost credibility over time.
