What happened
A former Indian envoy named in the Canada–India Nijjar case said the allegations against him were defamatory and that an apology is warranted. The case keeps attention on the dispute surrounding the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar and the continuing diplomatic and legal strain between India and Canada.
The note also refers to a criminal-syndicate probe and Canadian police investigations. The case therefore remains a mix of law-enforcement inquiry, diplomatic contestation, and competing claims about responsibility.
Background and earlier position
The Canada–India Nijjar case has already generated sustained bilateral tension. The current note does not add a legal conclusion; it adds a public rebuttal by the former envoy and shows that the controversy is still active.
