Canadian Border Officer Sues India for $9M
A Canadian border officer named Sunny has sued the Indian government for $9 million.
He says Indian officials spread false information about him, calling him a terrorist.
This caused him a lot of trouble, including death threats and emotional distress.
Sunny also says his employer, the Canada Border Services Agency, did not help him and even made things worse.
The Indian government denies any involvement in spreading false information.
The case will be heard in court in early 2026.
Sandeep Singh Sidhu (Sunny), a CBSA superintendent, sued the Indian government and CBSA for $9 million.
He alleges Indian officials spread false information portraying him as a terrorist.
