Wild speculation over possible motivations for Thursday’s bomb blast at a popular Indian restaurant in Mississauga has exacerbated tensions within local South Asian communities. It criticizes the Indian Consulate of Toronto for overstepping its diplomatic reach by establishing a hotline to gather information on the bombing. “Upon further investigation, we can verify that Indian media outlets have engaged in the spread of misinformation regarding this tragedy,” the committee said. People with possible information on the case should be contacting Peel police, the committee said, not the Indian Consulate. A large section of the parking lot remained cordoned off and forensic investigators could be seen working behind the restaurant.
