Nijjar was shot dead by two unidentified men outside a gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia, on June 18, 2023. An alleged video footage of the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was designated a terrorist by the National Investigation Agency in 2020, shows the Khalistani separatist being shot by armed men. Four Indian nationals have been charged with murder and conspiracy in Canada in connection with Nijjar’s death.
According to US-based Khalistani leader Gurpatwant Singh Pannun, Canadian police have threatened the life of an associate of slain Khalistani terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar. The police have informed him about this through a notice. Pannun said that Inderjit Singh Gosal, who worked as an associate of Nijjar, received a notice from the police in Ontario, who are working with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). Pannun said in a statement that Canadian officials have informed me about the threat to my life. However, no official statement has come from the RCMP and Ontario police on these allegations. The office of Canadian Public Safety Minister Dominic LeBlanc, who has overall responsibility for law enforcement, declined to comment.

Relations between India and Canada deteriorated after Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau publicly accused New Delhi of involvement in the death of Hardeep Singh Nijjar outside his residence in Surrey, British Columbia in June last year. India called the allegations “absurd” and “politically motivated”. India suspended visas for Canadians, while Ottawa recalled 41 diplomats from India.
