Former Indian diplomat Deepak Vohra recently claimed that drugs were found on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s plane during his visit to the G20 Summit in New Delhi. He further contended that Trudeau missed the G20 dinner as he was high on drugs and did not come out of his room for two days. “During Canadian PM Justin Trudeau’s visit to India for the G20 summit this month, his plane was full of cocaine. He also missed the President’s dinner as some people say he was not in his senses due to drug consumption,” Vohra claimed.
