Khalistan outfit’s chief Nijjar was wanted by the NIA and Punjab Police in multiple cases

Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) chief Hardeep Singh Nijjar, who was gunned down on June 18 by unidentified assailants in the parking lot of a gurdwara in Canada’s Surrey, was wanted by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the Punjab Police in multiple cases.

Nijjar also had close links with the banned outfit Sikhs For Justice (SFJ). Originally from Bharsinghpura village in Punjab’s Jalandhar, he entered Canada with a forged passport in 1997.
