Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a prominent Sikh leader in B.C., was gunned down in his grey truck in the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey on the evening of June 18.
India had accused Nijjar of terrorism-related activities in the past. In 2016, it accused Nijjar of conspiring to murder a Hindi priest in India. India’s counterterrorism National Investigation Agency announced a $16,000 reward for information leading to his arrest. Indian media reports also linked him to a 2007 bombing at a Punjab cinema that killed six.
His killing had led to a series of protests outside the Indian consulate in Vancouver and across Canada, as well as calls and a petition demanding the federal government investigate his death and determine whether foreign interference was at play. Police believe the vehicle — a silver 2008 Toyota Camry — has been waiting for at least an hour and had a driver, the third suspect in the slaying.In the aftermath of Nijjar’s death, posters advertising marches in memory of the Surrey man, became flashpoints in increasingly tense relations between Ottawa and New Delhi.
