An order of magnitude more Canadians died on that flight than Indians. Canada has a higher percentage of Sikh residents than India at this point. This issue isn’t exclusively Indian. The issue is that an extrajudicial, extraterritorial killing of a foreign citizen is a pretty serious step to take. There is no evidence that India tried to extradite or otherwise bring this gentleman to justice, nor what exactly his crime would be. India has accused him of a lot with not a lot of specificity. Flip this on its head: if Canada were to identify the assassins, would it be appropriate to send Canadian agents to India to have them assassinated? How would Indians react to such an act? |

They were almost all of Indian or South Asian ethnicity since the flight was to India.
The wiretaps with critical evidence were intentionally destroyed by the Canadian govt, according to the RCMP, resulting in two perpetuators walking away.

You're completely out of the loop on this. India put out two Interpol notices in 2014 and 2016, put him on most wanted lists and requested the Canadian government multiple times for an extradition.

Canada refused, just like the current Canadian PM's dad refused to extradite the mastermind of the Air India bombing in the early eighties when he was the PM because "India recognizes the Queen as the Head of the Commonwealth but not as head of state".
