Fourteen bullets fired at a home near Victoria. An Edmonton building torched by arsonists carrying a red jerrycan. A 39-year-old found dead in a Winnipeg duplex.

The crimes are among several across Canada that were allegedly part of an Indian government campaign against activists and opponents of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Six diplomatic and consular officials posted at India's foreign missions in Ottawa, Toronto and Vancouver have been identified as persons of interest in the violence.

On Monday, the Canadian government expelled them for their alleged roles in crimes that mainly targeted members of the Khalistan movement that supports independence for India's Sikh-majority Punjab.

But Global News has learned police have evidence the operation goes right to the top: It was allegedly approved by Modi's right-hand man Amit Shah, India's second most powerful politician.
