7 Indian flights received bomb threats on Tuesday, causing panic and forcing two planes to make emergency landings. A Delhi-Chicago Air India flight was diverted to Canada, while an Air India Express flight was grounded in Ayodhya for checks. Threats were issued via social media and targeted multiple airlines, including IndiGo, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air. Authorities later confirmed all threats were hoaxes. Security agencies, working with airlines and police, conducted safety checks, and no explosives were found. Investigations are ongoing to trace the sources of the false alarms.

India has stated that Canada has not provided evidence to support claims of Indian involvement in the killing of pro-Khalistan separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau previously accused Indian officials of being linked to Nijjar’s death, but India dismissed the allegations as "absurd." Canada recently expelled six Indian diplomats, which India responded to by expelling six Canadian diplomats. While Canada claims it has shared credible evidence, Indian officials maintain that no proof has been provided. Nijjar was designated a terrorist by India before being killed in British Columbia in June 2023.

India’s External Affairs Minister S Jaishankar met Pakistan’s Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif at a dinner reception during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) summit in Islamabad. The two leaders exchanged pleasantries and shook hands, marking the first high-level interaction between India and Pakistan in years. Jaishankar is attending the SCO summit, focusing on regional trade and cooperation. His visit is significant as it's the first time an Indian foreign minister has visited Pakistan since 2015. Despite the interaction, both nations ruled out any bilateral talks during the summit.

An Air India flight from Delhi to Chicago was diverted to Iqaluit Airport in Canada on October 15, 2024, due to a bomb threat posted online. Flight AI127 landed safely as a precaution, and passengers are being re-screened. The airline activated support teams to assist passengers until the flight can continue. This follows a similar incident the previous day, when an Air India flight from Mumbai to New York was diverted to Delhi after a bomb threat. No suspicious items were found in that case. As of 5:38 pm IST, the flight remains grounded in Canada.

Indian diplomats, including High Commissioner Sanjay Kumar Verma, will receive enhanced security upon their return from Canada due to threats from pro-Khalistan elements. Verma, along with five officials, is being targeted by the separatist group Sikhs for Justice (SFJ), which offered $500,000 to track his movements. SFJ alleges Verma’s involvement in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The threats come after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau accused Indian agents of links to Nijjar’s murder. India is also considering restricting Overseas Citizen of India (OCI) cards for Canadians suspected of supporting pro-Khalistan activities.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) has accused India of being involved in serious criminal activities, claiming that agents collaborated with the Lawrence Bishnoi gang to target pro-Khalistani individuals. This accusation comes amid escalating tensions following India's expulsion of six Canadian diplomats. Although Canada claims to have evidence linking India to the killing of Khalistani activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, officials did not present any proof to substantiate their allegations. India's Ministry of External Affairs has rejected these claims as baseless and politically motivated, leading to an ongoing diplomatic crisis between the two nations.

Amid escalating diplomatic tensions, Indian National Security Adviser Ajit Doval reportedly met with his Canadian counterpart in Singapore to discuss the Lawrence Bishnoi gang's alleged involvement in the killing of pro-Khalistan activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The Washington Post claims Doval acknowledged Bishnoi's capacity for orchestrating violence even from prison. Canadian officials presented evidence of India's links to attacks on Sikh separatists, prompting India to deny involvement. The meeting lasted five hours, with both sides firmly maintaining their positions, resulting in reciprocal expulsions of diplomats from each country.

Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, escalated the ongoing diplomatic row with India, accusing Indian diplomats of backing a "pattern of criminal harassment and violence" against Canadians. This dispute, stemming from the killing of Sikh extremist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in 2023, has led to both nations expelling each other's diplomats. Trudeau stated that India "attacked me personally" and alleged that its diplomats were involved in criminal activities on Canadian soil.   India, rejecting these claims, recalled its High Commissioner and expelled six Canadian diplomats, denouncing Ottawa’s accusations as "baseless targeting" of its officials.

India has expelled six Canadian diplomats and recalled its High Commissioner from Ottawa, signaling a major diplomatic rift. The move follows Canada's allegations linking Indian diplomats to the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, which India denies. Canada's RCMP claims Indian agents worked with criminal groups to target pro-Khalistani elements. In response, India criticized the baseless accusations, expressing concern over the safety of its diplomats due to rising extremism. Relations between the two nations have deteriorated since Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's allegations in September last year.

An Indian inquiry panel is set to visit Washington, D.C., on October 15 to investigate allegations surrounding an alleged plot to assassinate pro-Khalistani extremist Gurpatwant Singh Pannun. The U.S. charged Indian national Nikhil Gupta last November in connection with the plot, and Gupta was later extradited. India has denied the accusations and launched its internal probe. The panel aims to gather updates from U.S. authorities. Pannun, designated a terrorist by India in 2020, leads the banned Sikhs for Justice group known for anti-national activities.
