Amid the bilateral tension, Punjab gangster Sukhdool Singh aka Sukha Duneke of Davinder Bambiha gang has been killed in Canada's Winnipeg, media reports said.

Sukhdool has been killed in a gang-rivalry much like how terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in June.

Reports say Sukhdool fled from India to Canada in 2017. He has seven criminal cases against his name.

India-Canada relation touches new low

Relationship between New Delhi and Ottawa touched a new low after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau alleged India's involvement in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.

Trudeau alleged that there are "credible allegations of a potential link" between Indian government agents and the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey in the British Columbia state of Canada in June.

Soon after Trudeau levelled the allegations against the Indian government in the country's Parliament, Canada’s foreign minister Mélanie Joly announced the expulsion of a “top Indian diplomat” as a consequence.

In a befitting reply to Canada's actions, India also sacked a Canadian diplomat and asked him to leave the country within the next five days.

India rejected the allegations made by Canada over the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

"Similar allegations were made by the Canadian Prime Minister to our Prime Minister and were completely rejected," read the statement issued by the MEA.
