Authorities from the Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) revealed that Singh was apprehended on May 11 in connection to the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. At the time of his arrest, he was already being held by the Peel Regional Police on unrelated firearms charges, according to an official statement.
“This arrest underscores the ongoing nature of our investigation to bring to justice those involved in the homicide of Hardeep Singh Nijjar,” said Superintendent Mandeep Mooker, the Officer in Charge of IHIT, as quoted by PTI.
Nijjar, aged 45, was fatally shot outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey, British Columbia on June 18, 2023.
Additional Arrests in the Case
Prior to Singh’s arrest, IHIT investigators had taken three Indian nationals into custody on May 3. The individuals, namely Karan Brar (22), Kamalpreet Singh (22), and 28-year-old Karanpreet Singh, were charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in connection to Nijjar’s death.
These individuals, described as members of a ‘hit squad’, were believed to be involved in the attack. The Canadian police had even released photographs of the trio following their arrest.
Details About Accused Karan Brar’s Entry into Canada
Recent reports suggest that Karan Brar had entered Canada on a student visa.
According to a local news outlet, Brar had applied for a student visa through EthicWorks Immigration Services in Bathinda, Punjab. Interestingly, he received approval within a few days, a process that typically takes seven to nine weeks to complete.
Details found on a Facebook page believed to belong to Brar revealed that he enrolled in a program at Bow Valley College in Calgary on April 30, 2020, before relocating to Edmonton on May 4, 2020.
EthicWorks Immigration Services had previously shared a promotional video featuring Brar holding a Canadian study permit inside his passport. However, the video has since been removed.
India-Canada Relations
The arrests in this case come amidst ongoing diplomatic tensions between India and Canada, sparked by Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s accusations of India’s involvement in the matter.
In 2020, India’s National Investigation Agency (NIA) classified Nijjar as a terrorist. Following Trudeau’s claims, the Indian government vehemently denied the allegations, leading to strained relations between the two nations. While tensions persist, there have been efforts to ease the situation. Despite months of unsubstantiated allegations, Trudeau has failed to produce concrete evidence linking India to Nijjar’s killing.
