So I would expect that warrants would be issued, India and Canada would cooperate in the investigation and sentences would be handed by cooperating judicial systems. There's precedent for cross country justice being served. If this isn't working between Canada and India, it should be fixed. If Canada isn't cooperating where it ought, Canada should improve. I don't know anything about that. But was there an interpol warrant on this person?

> But was there an interpol warrant on this person? Yes [0] > would cooperate in the investigation and sentences would be handed by cooperating judicial systems They don't really cooperate. A lot of this is due to mutual red tape, and also because of jurisdictional issues (eg. is transnational crime under the CSIS, the RCMP, the Vancouver PD? Which court does it go to?) because Canada is very similar to India structurally (weird hyper-federalism mixed with federal powers attempting to further gain control). Also the Indian equivalent of law enforcement isn't the greatest either due to federal-state conflicts along with like 6-8 different competing federal law enforcement agencies, plus a couple national security ones.

  I didn't know this, and these types of details would definitely modulate my (and probably other's) perception of India's justification. Example: if there was credible imminent threat, and uncooperative foreign government giving no alternative but the emergency use of clandestine force.

However, a senior officer said, “Canada, which is a member of Interpol and talks about the rule of law, has disregarded Interpol red notices. As a rule, once a red notice is issued, a member country is bound to take the suspect(s) into custody” Canada yet to act on Interpol notices against Khalistani gangsters - https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/india-news/canada-yet-to-act-on-interpol-notices-101695236667012-amp.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hindustantimes.com/india-ne...

  Because India has ridiculous history of making up charges against people whom they don’t like politically. Search “Umar Khalid”.
