A chilling video allegedly depicting the assassination of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, once on India's most-wanted list and a pro-Khalistan terrorist, has surfaced. The footage captures the moment two vehicles exit a parking area, followed by two attackers who approach Nijjar's car and reportedly open fire.
Nijjar, who resided in Canada, was assassinated in June 2023, an act which the Justin Trudeau government has blamed on India.
Declared a terrorist by India in 2020, Nijjar lived in Canada, where unidentified attackers fatally shot him on June 18, in front of a Surrey, British Columbia, gurdwara.
The attackers fired shots and fled the scene
The alleged assassination video shows Nijjar leaving the gurdwara parking area in his pickup truck. A white sedan is also seen leaving alongside his vehicle. Near the exit, reportedly, the attackers in the sedan block Nijjar's pickup, rush towards his vehicle, and shoot him before escaping in a silver Toyota car.
Witnesses rushed to the scene upon hearing gunshots
Two witnesses playing football nearby rushed to the site upon hearing the gunfire. One witness, Bhupinder Singh Sidhu, reported seeing two assailants flee. He told another, Malkit Singh, to pursue the attackers. Sidhu later attempted to press on Nijjar's chest and check for signs of life.
Malkit Singh chased the attackers but they managed to escape in a car with three other individuals. However, the Royal Canadian Police have not publicly named any suspects nor made any arrests in the 9 months following the Nijjar case.
Tensions rise between India and Canada!
Justin Trudeau mentioned Nijjar's murder in the Canadian Parliament, directly accusing India of the crime. He claimed that agents of the Indian government executed the murder, increasing tensions between India and Canada. The United States even advised India to cooperate with the investigation, which India has denied any involvement in.
