Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he chose to reveal a possible link between the Indian government and the killing of a Canadian to “put a chill” on India amid concerns in the Sikh community over safety.

In September, Mr. Trudeau told the House of Commons there was credible intelligence linking India to the June 18 shooting death of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in the parking lot of his gurdwara in Surrey, B.C.
