When Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot outside a Surrey temple in June, speculation of foreign interference abounded
outside the Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C., where he presided, homicide investigators said the shooting was targeted but declined to comment on speculation that the Indian government may have been involved. Instead, police have said little over the past three months about the killing or what may have prompted it, releasing only descriptions of suspects and pleading for witnesses and tips.
Mr. Nijjar, president of the Guru Nanak Gurdwara and an outspoken advocate of Sikh separatism, was gunned down on the evening of June 18 outside the temple in Surrey. The RCMP said at the time that he was attacked by two masked gunmen with heavy builds who fled on foot and escaped via a waiting car. In August, homicide investigators announced they were looking for a third suspect believed to be the getaway driver, who is said to have waited in a silver 2008 Toyota Camry for the gunmen.
In the years before his death, Mr. Nijjar made no secret of the fact that India’s National Investigative Agency publicly accused him of being a terrorist. Last July, the NIA offered a reward for information leading to his arrest.
