"Allegations that a representative of a foreign government may have been involved in the murder of a Canadian citizen here in Canada, on Canadian soil... are totally unacceptable," Foreign Minister Melanie Joly said.

"Therefore, today we have expelled a senior Indian diplomat from Canada," she added without naming the diplomat.
