Vigneault's unannounced visit to India came weeks before Canada arrested three Indian nationals – Karanpreet Singh (28), Kamalpreet Singh (22) and Karan Brar (22) – for their alleged involvement in Nijjar's murder. Canadian authorities then arrested a fourth Indian, Amandeep Singh. Nijjar, declared a terrorist by India, was shot dead outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18 last year. The killing is being investigated by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
A Canadian government official said, “We can confirm that CSIS Director David Vigneault visited India, but we do not comment on the nature or content of closed-door meetings.” “As I said, ever since Canada became aware of the credible allegations, we have consistently provided all information on the Nijjar case to India through various channels,” he said. “Prime Minister Trudeau and Canada's Public Safety Minister have also publicly confirmed this,” he said. There was no comment from the Indian side when asked about Vigneault's visit.
Many other Canadian officials also visited India!
Sources said that apart from Vigneault, some other Canadian officials also visited India this year to discuss various aspects of the case related to the murder of Nijjar. India has been officially maintaining that it has not received any specific information related to the case from Canada.
