Indian High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, recently labelled as a 'person of interest' by the Trudeau government, stands at the centre of growing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada.

India expelled six Canadian diplomats and recalled its high commissioner, rejecting Canada's allegations linking the envoy to a Sikh extremist's killing. This decision reflects a significant decline in bilateral relations amid accusations of political interference by the Canadian High Commission.

India has withdrawn its High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma and other 'targeted' officials from Canada. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) said that the actions of the Justin Trudeau's government are endangering the safety of the Indian High Commissioner and other officials.
