According to reports, Duneke fled to Canada from India on forged documents in 2017 and has seven criminal cases registered against him.
There are no less than 29 gangsters from Punjab region and around who are taking shelter outside India to evade the law.
They left India on either Indian passports or through fake-forged travel documents or through the Nepal route in the past, Hindustan Times reported.
The killing of Duneke takes place amidst a significant diplomatic dispute between India and Canada.
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently stated in the House of Commons that his government was investigating "credible allegations" linking Indian government agents to the murder of Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar on Canadian soil in June.
Following the Canadian PM's claim, an Indian diplomat was evicted by Canada.
In response, India rejected Trudeau's allegations, calling them "absurd and motivated" and also expelled a senior Canadian diplomat.
