Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM) national secretary Tejinder Pall Singh Bagga on Monday made a sensational claim, saying killed Sikh separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was gay and that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau used to like him.

His statement comes amid a diplomatic standoff between India and Canada that ensued after Trudeau alleged the Indian government was involved in Nijjar's killing. India has asked Canada to provide proof to back the allegations but none have come yet.

This only leads me to assume that India really did have the guy assassinated.

Fair chance it's true, irrespective of why Canada is risking their trade and global relationship. They probably wouldn't accuse without intelligence.

My understanding is that a reporter was going to break the story. The evidence wasn't just from Canadian intelligence either.

Yes I saw an interview with a Canadian official where he clarifies that they had to get in front of it
