New Delhi: Two unidentified bike-borne assailants killed wanted Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Canada in the Punjabi-dominated Surrey city of British Columbia province.
Some arrests have been made in connection with his killing. Chief of banned pro-Khalistan group Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) Gurpatwant Singh Pannun also confirmed Nijjar’s death to CNN News18 and blamed Indian agencies for his killing.
Nijjar, president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara and member of a separatist organisation Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) were declared a ‘wanted terrorist’ by the Indian government, due to his involvement in acts of violence. The Indian government also directed Canadian authorities to act against the terrorist. His name was recently featured on a list naming 40 other designated terrorists released by the Indian government. His outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ) is also banned in India.
Known for his anti-India activities, the Canada-based Khalistani terrorist played a key role in organising the Khalistan referendum in Brampton City.
