In a statement released on Friday, India’s foreign ministry said officials had “taken up these incidents” with Canadian authorities and asked for investigations into “the crimes in question”. The statement also claims that hate crimes against Indian nationals have increased in Canada. “The perpetrators of these crimes have not yet been brought to justice in Canada,” the statement said. The release did not specifically name specific crimes or provide further information about the Indian government’s allegations. The ministry also recommends Indian nationals and students in Canada to register with the High Commission of India in Ottawa or the Consulate General of India in Toronto or Vancouver to better connect with officials in case of an emergency. CTVNews.ca has reached out to the federal government and Indian officials for comment. More to come.
