Photos of Justin Trudeau in public during his trip to India refute the diplomat’s claim that the Canadian prime minister did not leave his hotel room for two days after being on a plane ‘full of cocaine’.
Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra accused 51-year-old Justin Trudeau of hiding in his room for two days, but photos show the Canadian prime minister several times during the two-day period.
Justin Trudeau arrived in New Delhi on Friday, September 8, to attend the G20 summit and posed for a photo outside the plane – which was reportedly ‘full of cocaine’ – with his son Xavier, 16.
The next day, Trudeau was pictured with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who welcomed the Canadian with a handshake upon his arrival at Bharat Mandapam, where the G20 conference was being held.
The next day, he was photographed taking part in a wreath-laying ceremony at Raj Ghat with Modi and Indonesian President Joko Widodo.
Trudeau was pictured waving alongside his 16-year-old son Xavier as they arrived in New Delhi for the G20 summit in what an Indian diplomat has described as a cocaine-filled plane.

Trudeau was finally photographed at the end of his trip as he left New Delhi on September 12. His departure was postponed due to weather conditions and technical problems with his military aircraft.
Vohra, a former Indian ambassador to Sudan, said: “When Justin Trudeau came to India for the G20 this month, his plane was full of cocaine. He hasn’t left his room for two days.’
In a statement to the Toronto Sun, Trudeau’s office said: “This is absolutely false and a disturbing example of how misinformation can find its way into media reporting.”
Vohra’s comments came after Trudeau claimed Indian officials were responsible for the killing of a Sikh activist in British Columbia.
Surveillance of Indian diplomats in Canada led to claims that the killing of 45-year-old Hardeep Singh Nijjar was the result of Indian government involvement.
The allegations have led to an ongoing battle between India and Canada.
Nijjar was born in India and became a Canadian citizen in 2007. He had been wanted by India for years before he was gunned down in June outside the temple he led in suburban Vancouver.

Trudeau spoke on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly – acknowledging the complicated diplomatic situation.
He said: “The decision to share these allegations in the House of Commons has not been taken lightly.” “There is no doubt that India is a country of growing importance and one with which we must continue to work.”
“We are not out to provoke or cause trouble, but we are unequivocal about the importance of the rule of law and unequivocal about the importance of protecting Canadians.”
No evidence was shared to support Trudeau’s claim that there were “credible allegations” about Indian involvement in the killing. The claims have angered Indian officials, who called the accusation “absurd.”
Vohra discussed Trudeau’s allegations during a Zee News debate show with journalist Deepak Chaurasia.
‘In his parliament speech he used the words ‘credible allegations’ against India. How can accusations be credible? It could be credible, or it could be an accusation. In this case I also have to make a ‘credible rumor’ that ‘Trudeau’ is crazy. It’s a credible rumor.’
The diplomat then added that it was a “credible rumor” that sniffer dogs had found cocaine on the plane that Trudeau flew to India.
Vohra’s claim also comes after Trudeau was forced to publicly apologize after Canada’s parliament recognized a man who fought alongside the Nazis in World War II.
Trudeau said it is “important to push back on Russian propaganda” after being questioned about honoring a Nazi in Canada’s parliament.
The ongoing battle between Canada and India comes after the Canadian government accused India of being involved in the murder of a Sikh man on Canadian soil.

The prime minister was questioned by reporters on Monday after 98-year-old Yaroslav Hunka was hailed as a Ukrainian-Canadian war hero during President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to parliament on Friday.
Trudeau admitted it was “extremely disturbing that this happened,” blamed the Speaker of the House for the “error” — but then launched into a message about “Russian disinformation.”
The Toronto Sun also reported that Vohra said, “My wife saw him at the Delhi airport and said Trudeau looked depressed and stressed.
‘We don’t know the reason. I don’t know the reality, but social media and some “credible rumors” suggest his plane was full of cocaine.
‘He has become lonely. He is now trying to show that he is a Canadian Rambo and that nothing can go wrong in his presence. “India did the right thing by suspending visa services in Canada.”
