(Reuters) - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said his nation's security agencies have actively pursued credible allegations of a potential link between the Indian government and the June murder of a Sikh separatist leader and Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, in Canada.
Trudeau's comments on Monday marked the latest strain in relations between Ottawa and New Delhi this year.
