OTTAWA – CSIS director David Vigneault travelled to India earlier this year to discuss with officials there the killing of Canadian Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, according to Indian media, but the spy agency won’t confirm any details about the trips.

Several Indian news outlets reported this week that Vigneault travelled to India in February and again in March to brief Indian officials on the case. Nijjar, who advocated for an independent Sikh homeland inside India, was gunned down outside his temple in Surrey, B.C., last year.
