Canada has made public the CCTV footage of the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The footage was aired in a television news programme.
The video showed a view of the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara Sahib in Surrey where the incident took place. A white sedan was seen blocking Nijjar's vehicle as two persons believed to be Nijjar’s killers approached towards it.
The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain following the incident.
The ties between India and Canada came under severe strain after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in September alleged a "potential" involvement of Indian agents in Nijjar's killing.
India, however, rejected the charges by Canada, deeming them as “absurd and motivated” and said the country has a strong commitment to the rule of law.
Last month, Canadian police arrested two teenagers for a shooting incident outside the home of a close aide of slain Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, an incident for which the separatist groups had blamed Indian agencies.
Royal Canadian Mounted Police on Tuesday confirmed that two teenagers had been arrested in connection with the February 1 shooting incident outside the house of Simranjit Singh Jammu, a close aide of Nijjar, in South Surrey.
In the statement, the RCMP also made it clear that investigators have not established any links to foreign interference in this case.
