US Ambassador to Canada David Cohen had also admitted in a media interview that ‘intelligence shared between the Five Eyes partners had informed Trudeau about the involvement of Indian agents in the murder of a Canadian citizen. There was a lot of discussion between Canada and America regarding this.

It is noteworthy that the Canadian government had also informed Hardeep Singh Nijjar about the possible threat to his life. However, he was not told that this attack could be from the Indian government.
American diplomat also accepted

Recently, Canadian PM Justin Trudeau alleged in the Parliament that India could be involved in this murder. He called the killing of a Canadian citizen in Canada an attack on sovereignty. Canada had expelled India’s diplomat.
