The National Investigation Agency (NIA) had last year filed a charge sheet against Laddi, and Pakistan-based chief of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), Wadhawa Singh, along four others. The chargesheet was filed with regard to their connection with the murder of Vishwa Hindu Parishad leader Vikas Prabhakar alias Vikas Bagga in Punjab earlier this year. The agency had noted, "Khalistani extremists continue to use Canada as a base for the promotion, fundraising or planning of violence primarily in India."

For years now, India has been raising concerns about the operations of Khalistani terrorists in Canada. India has also complained that the country hasn't done enough to tackle the threat from the terrorists.
