The Controversial Life of Hardeep Singh Nijjar: From Fake Papers to Sikh Separatism

Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the slain chief of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) and wanted terrorist, had entered Canada 26 years ago with fake papers, claiming persecution by the Indian government. Despite doubts about his story, Nijjar managed to obtain Canadian citizenship in 2001 and became involved with the Babbar Khalsa International (BKI). He later formed close ties with Jagtar Singh Tara, a former chief of KTF, and provided financial assistance to him. Nijjar's involvement in indoctrination, recruitment, and targeted killings in Punjab was uncovered, leading to his listing as a terrorist in 2020. He was shot dead in June 2021.

Police regain control of Zaman Park, Imran Khan's former residence.

Punjab Police have taken complete control of the area surrounding Imran Khan's residence in Lahore, months after his supporters started camping there to foil his arrest in the Toshakhana corruption case. Police met with Khan to arrest "terrorists" reportedly hiding there and handed him a list of 2,200 suspects involved in the May 9 protests that targeted military installations and government buildings. The only thing that remains is conducting a raid of Khan's premises. Khan has maintained that he has no qualms with the security agencies conducting a search operation on his residence but asserted that it should be done as per the guidelines set by the Lahore High Court.
