6 men and 2 vehicles were involved in Hardeep Nijjar’s killing: Report
Surrey (British Columbia): At least six men and two vehicles were involved in the killing of Canada-based pro-Khalistan hardliner Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside a gurdwara in British Columbia in June, according to a video reviewed by The Washington Post and witness accounts, suggesting a larger and more organised operation than has previously been reported.
Members of the local Sikh community, meanwhile, say authorities have told them little about their investigation of the June 18 killing outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey. They said police were slow to the scene, and disagreement between agencies caused further delay.
Several business owners and residents near the gurdwara say investigators have not visited them to ask questions or request security video, The Washington Post reported. In a bombshell announcement last week, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told Canada’s House of Commons that authorities were pursuing “credible allegations” that agents of the Indian government were involved in the killing.
The allegations were based in part on information gathered by one of Canada’s partners in the intelligence-sharing Five Eyes alliance, the Washington Post reported.
Nijjar, 45, the president of the gurdwara, had received death threats in the past, his family said. The murder was captured by a gurdwara security camera and the video has been shared with investigators, according to the Washington Post report.
