Four people from India who are accused of killing a Sikh activist from British Columbia named Hardeep Singh Nijjar, will all be appearing in court on Tuesday.
Twenty-two-year-old Amandeep Singh appeared in a Surrey, B.C court last week through a video call for the first time, and the case has been moved to today.
Singh was accused of planning and carrying out a serious crime, and of working with others to do the same. This happened earlier this month while he was already in jail for different charges related to guns.
Karan Brar, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh were arrested in Edmonton and now they are going to court in Surrey. They are facing the same charges.
Nijjar played an important role in helping Sikhs living abroad vote for an independent Sikh state in India. He was shot and killed in the parking lot of the temple in Surrey where he was president in June 2023.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said that there is believable information connecting Nijjar‘s death to the Indian government, but India says they were not involved.
