India Orders Blocking of Documentary on Sikh Activist's Killing

The move to restrict access to 'Contract to Kill' highlights tensions between Canada and India over allegations of government involvement.

India has blocked access to a CBC documentary on the killing of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, demanding social media platforms like YouTube and X to comply.
The documentary, 'Contract to Kill,' includes footage of Nijjar's murder and explores allegations of the Indian government's involvement.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has previously accused the Indian government of ordering Nijjar's killing, a claim that has strained Canada-India relations.
Despite ongoing investigations, no arrests have been made in connection with Nijjar's death.
Social media platforms have complied with India's request, but have expressed disagreement with the action, citing freedom of expression concerns.
