Monday's withdrawal of India's ambassador is a major escalation in the fraught ties between the nations. Nijjar — who immigrated to Canada in 1997 and became a citizen in 2015 — had advocated for a separate Sikh state, known as Khalistan, carved out of India.Four Indian nationals have been arrested in connection with Nijjar's murder, which took place in the parking lot of a Sikh temple in Vancouver in June 2023.India on Monday called allegations it was connected to the killing as"preposterous" and a"strategy of smearing India for political gains".
