Hardeep Singh Nijjar is at the heart of a diplomatic crisis between India and Canada, after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Monday that intelligence services were investigating 'credible' information about 'a potential link' between India's government and the killing.
On June 18, Hardeep Singh Nijjar phoned his eldest son for the last time, to say he was on his way home for dinner.
But a few minutes after the 8:20 p.m. call, Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, was dead, shot in his pickup truck by two masked gunmen in the parking lot of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, in Surrey, B.C. He said his father had moved from India to Canada in 1997 and had worked as a plumber in B.C. for more than 20 years.
In 2016, Indian media reported that he was suspected of masterminding a bombing in the Sikh-majority state of Punjab and training terrorists in B.C. Last year, Indian authorities accused Nijjar of involvement in an alleged attack on a Hindu priest in India and announced a reward of about $16,000 for information leading to his arrest.
