Khalistan Tiger Force chief Hardeep Nijjar shot dead in Canada
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the chief of pro-Khalistan outfit Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) and a designated terrorist in India, was shot dead in Canada. Nijjar played a key role in recruitment, training, and financing the KTF and was also an active member of the Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), a separatist organization banned in India. He faced four cases registered by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) pertaining to Sikh radicalism and waging war against the country and carried a reward of Rs 10 lakh against his name. Nijjar is the latest entrant in the list of Khalistani separatists either being murdered or poisoned in the last few months.
