flag UK intelligence linked Indian operatives to Sikh activist’s killing in Canada, sparking diplomatic fallout.

flag British intelligence, likely from GCHQ, intercepted communications in late 2023 that were shared with Canada under the Five Eyes agreement, allegedly linking Indian government operatives to the killing of Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. flag The intelligence, delivered by hand and restricted to a small group of officials, reportedly discussed three targets, including Nijjar and two others, with later references to Nijjar’s elimination. flag The claims have intensified diplomatic tensions between Canada and India, prompting expulsions and recalls in 2024. flag India has dismissed the allegations as baseless and politically motivated. flag Despite the rift, relations have improved since Canada’s April 2025 election, with high-level talks and the appointment of envoys to each other’s capitals. flag Sikh groups in the UK have called for transparency regarding intelligence shared about another activist, Avtar Singh Khanda, who died in June 2023 from cancer with no suspicious circumstances.
