What is the controversy involving Australian journalist Avani Dias?

Avani Dias is the South Asia bureau chief at Australia's ABC News and is based in New Delhi. She published a video report on YouTube last month about India's alleged involvement in the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada. Avani claims that she faced problems extending her visa after a critical report about PM Modi's government and was asked to leave India abruptly and not allowed to cover the Lok Sabha elections.
