Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara

Three Indian nationals accused of murdering Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar are due to face court in Surrey, B.C., on Tuesday over the killing that triggered a major diplomatic rift with New Delhi.

The son of Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar says his father met regularly with Canadian intelligence officers in the months before he was shot dead in British Columbia last June, a killing that's been credibly linked to India, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons on Monday, Sept. 18, 2023.

Harkirat Kaur said she had a relationship with Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar that was like “father and daughter” before his killing in Surrey, B.C., in June.

Senior diplomats have been ordered expelled in both Canada and India after Prime Minster Justin Trudeau linked agents of India's government to the shooting death of a Sikh leader near Vancouver.
