Exclusive security video obtained by The Fifth Estate reveals the elements of a highly co-ordinated attack that ended with the killing of a prominent Canadian Sikh separatist.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot and killed as he left his place of worship in Surrey, B.C., on the evening of June 18, 2023. The video has been independently verified by more than one source.
The apparent targeted killing of the president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara ultimately led to accusations from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that the government of India ordered the killing — a claim that severely damaged diplomatic ties between Canada and India.
The video shows Nijjar leaving the parking lot of the gurdwara in his grey Dodge Ram pickup truck.
