The Royal Canadian Mounted Police , which is investigating the case at the heart of Monday’s rupture in ties, accused India n government agents of being linked to an organized crime group called the “Bishnoi group.”
India has not reacted to the accusations of links between government officials and the Bishnoi group. The foreign ministry did not respond to a Reuters query for comment.The NIA has accused the 31-year-old law graduate, in jail since 2015, of running a trans-national crime syndicate. However, Bishnoi has said he opposes Khalistan, or the demand for an independent Sikh state, and was not “anti-national,” in an interview with a private news channel last year.Bishnoi is an inmate of the Sabarmati central jail in the western industrial city of Ahmedabad in Gujarat state. Media have said he has been moved around different prisons out of concern for his safety – and his ability to break jail rules.
