Khalistani Leader Nijjar's Death: Canadian Investigators Find Involvement Of 3rd Person

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) in British Columbia has identified three suspects in the case of the homicide of Surrey Sikh leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar.

On the day Nijjar was killed in a shooting, the third suspect was seen waiting in a getaway car in the area of 121 Street and 68 Avenue on June 18, IHIT spokesperson Sgt. Timothy Pierotti told reporters on Wednesday.

The investigators suspect that he facilitated the escape of two other individuals from the location using a vehicle, which has been recognized by the police as a silver 2008 Toyota Camry.

The authorities have also released surveillance photos of the vehicle, along with a blurry image of the new suspect. The cops are now seeking assistance from the public in locating these individuals.

Pro-Khalistan leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar was killed in a targeted shooting in Canada's Surrey.

He was shot outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in the Punjabi-dominated Surrey city of British Columbia province, according to a report in the IANS. Nijjar was the president of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey.

On the other hand, the Sikhs for Justice, on Wednesday said that the community is "appalled" by the lack of information provided by investigators."So far, the IHIT's progress in the investigation of Nijjar's assassination is disappointing and dissatisfying," the statement reads.

The group claimed that it would launch its own private investigation if it doesn't see more developments in the case.
