Maybe they already lost the evidence because of routine deletion like it happened with the downing of Air India Flight 182 that killed 320 people and the alleged Canadian perpetuators were let go. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37601284 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=37601284 The guy murdered was associated with one of the alleged perpetuators later on according to Canadian court records.

So Modi can send his goons in foreign soil to bring justice. I don’t understand this line of thought.

  I never said that or think so. Please don't accuse me of things I didn't say or think.

    You have several identical comments pointing to the same incident trying to build the case that implicates Canada in a terrorist attack. If not to justify the murder then what are you trying to achieve?

> Maybe they already lost the evidence because of routine deletion like it happened with the downing of Air India Flight 182 that killed 320 people and the alleged Canadian perpetuators were let go. The perpetrators weren't "let go"; they had a trial (the most expensive trial in Canadian history), and two of the three charged were found not guilty. Which is how things work in a liberal democracy. > The guy murdered was associated with one of the alleged perpetuators later on according to Canadian court records. Pretty sure that's not a crime in Canada. And if it is one, it doesn't meet the standard of "summary execution while sitting in ones car", which is definitely not a thing in Canada.

    What point are you trying to make?

      I think the point they are trying to make is pretty clear - Canada, be it due to systemic incompetence or vested political interests, shares a lot of the blame.
