Surrey Gurdwara President’s Homicide: Arrests Made
In a significant development, authorities have announced the arrests of multiple individuals suspected of involvement in the homicide of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the president of the Surrey B.C. Gurdwara. The incident, which occurred in June 2022, has been under investigation by the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team and Surrey RCMP.
A source familiar with the matter has revealed that the suspects are Indian nationals who entered Canada on student visas. However, it is believed that they may have been operating under the direction of Indian intelligence at the time of Nijjar’s murder.
The arrests were carried out by the RCMP on Friday morning, almost a year after Nijjar was gunned down. The suspects are currently in custody, and further details regarding their identities and the charges they face are expected to be released during a press conference scheduled for 12:30 p.m. on Friday.
Last September, the Canadian government had raised concerns about allegations linking Indian agents to Nijjar’s murder. However, India has rejected these contentions.
The upcoming press conference is expected to provide more information about the arrests and the ongoing investigation. Stay tuned for updates as this story develops.
