Who killed Hardeep Singh Nijjar?

Surrey, where Nijjar lives, is about 30 kilometers southeast of Vancouver, the largest city in the Western Canadian province of British Columbia. Nijjar moved from Punjab to Canada in 1997, where he worked as a plumber. He got married in the North American country and has two sons. He is the president of the Surrey Gurdwara organization since 2020. Nijjar belongs to Bhar Singh Pura village in Pillaur subdivision of Jalandhar district. His parents visited the village before the first Covid-19 lockdown.

According to the Indian government, as the leader of KTF, Nijjar was actively involved in the operation and networking of the organization as well as training and funding of its members. He is said to have visited Pakistan in 2013-14 to meet Jagtar Singh Tara, who is currently serving a life sentence in India for his involvement in the assassination of former Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh. Tara escaped from prison in 2004 but was recaptured in Thailand in 2015 and brought back to India. Najjar is also friendly with Dal Khalsa leader Rajinder Singh, one of the five hijackers of an Indian Airlines flight in 1981. Rajinder Singh is currently in Pakistan.
