New Delhi, Oct. 26 -- Canadian authorities have refused to share the death certificate of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Sikh separatist leader killed in Surrey last year, Indian officials said on Friday, highlighting the fraught relations that have spilled onto law enforcement cooperation as well.
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) sought the death certificate from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) to update court records in several pending cases against Nijjar, according to a senior official. The NIA and RCMP have agency-to-agency coordination mechanisms in cases of terrorism and other serious crimes and have often shared information directly with each other in the past. P13
