Absolutely False: Justin Trudeau Denies Former Indian Diplomat's Charge That He Flew To Delhi G20 Summit With Cocaine On Board

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudea’s office has strongly denied the claim that his plane was “full of cocaine” when he came to India for the G20 meeting earlier this month.

This comes after Deepak Vohra, a former Indian ambassador to Sudan, made some shocking accusations during an interview on Monday.

Vohra said on Monday there were “credible rumours” that “sniffer dogs found cocaine on his plane”.

"When Justin Trudeau came to India for the G20 this month, his plane was full of cocaine. He did not come out of his room for two days," Vohra told Zee News.

The unsubstantiated claim were however strongly refuted by Canadian Prime Minister's office.

The Canadian PMO's statement comes amid the rising tensions between India and Canada over the killing of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in June.

Trudeau had earlier last week alleged involvement of India in the killing of Nijjar in Canada in June.

Following Trudeau's claim, the Canadian government expelled an Indian diplomat.

India angrily rejected the allegations as "absurd" and "motivated" and also expelled a senior Canadian diplomat in a tit-for-tat move.
