Meanwhile  during a press briefing, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that a similar extradition appeal was made recently for syndicates associated with the Bishnoi gang.

Till now Canada has not yet responded to it. The demand for extradition of these people was raised. Even though the Ministry of External Affairs said that the names of Gurjeet Singh, Gurjinder Singh, Arshdeep Singh Gill, Lakhbir Singh Landa and Gurpreet Singh were handed over to Canada. Their extradition was demanded.

There was no evidence. That is, no such evidence has been given against India by Trudeau or Canada so far.
