On June 18, two shooters wearing hoodies way-laid a grey pickup truck outside a gurdwara in Surrey, a town on the western coast of Canada, pumped some 35 rounds into the occupant and escaped. Ordinarily, this would have passed off as a stray gangland killing, but the victim here was Hardeep Singh Nijjar, 45, the head of the banned militant outfit, Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF), and a wanted terrorist in India with asmuggle arms into India, run an extortion racket with other Punjab-based gangsters and promoted anti-India sentiments among Sikhs in Canada as well as India.
