The prime minister’s top security adviser says the Canadian government is not aware of evidence linking Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to criminal activity in Canada.

A recent report by the Globe and Mail, citing an anonymous source identified as a “senior national security official,” said Canadian security agencies believe Modi knew about the assassination of a pro-Khalistan activist in B.C. last year, along with other violent plots.
