The diplomatic row between India and Canada escalated dramatically. Early in the day, India summoned the Canadian envoy over Ottawa's accusations against Indian diplomats. By afternoon, India announced the withdrawal of its High Commissioner from Canada, citing security concerns. The situation intensified further in the evening when India expelled six Canadian diplomats, ordering them to leave within five days. This tit-for-tat move followed Canada's earlier expulsion of Indian diplomats. The dispute centers around the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, with Canada alleging Indian involvement. Meanwhile, violence erupted in Bahraich, Uttar Pradesh, following a communal clash during Durga idol immersion, leading to property damage and internet suspension. The Baba Siddique murder case continued to develop, with investigations pointing to potential links to gangster Lawrence Bishnoi.
