Amandeep Singh, 22, was arrested in Brampton, Ont., on Saturday for his alleged role in the killing
An Indian citizen arrested in Ontario was allegedly one of the two gunmen who shot B.C. Sikh temple leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Global News has learned.
Amandeep Singh, 22, was arrested on Saturday for his alleged role in Nijjar’s killing, which Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has linked to the Indian government.
The resident of Brampton, Ont., was charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. He has been in custody since November on unrelated charges.
According to a source familiar with the case, Singh is believed to be one of the armed men who opened fire on Nijjar as he was leaving the Guru Nanak Sikh Temple in Surrey, B.C. on June 18, 2023.
The shooters were then seen running to a getaway car.
Singh is the fourth suspect arrested so far for killing Nijjar, a prominent leader of the Khalistan movement, which seeks independence for India’s Sikh-majority Punjab state.
A plumber, temple leader and Canadian citizen, Nijjar had long been accused by New Delhi of leading a terrorist group behind attacks in India — although no credible evidence was ever produced.
The latest charges followed the May 3 arrests in Edmonton of Karan Brar, 22, Kamalpreet Singh, 22 and Karanpreet Singh, 28. All are Indian nationals. They appeared in Surrey court last week.
