Hardeep Singh Nijjar, the Director of SFJ in Canada and President of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, was fatally shot in the parking lot of the gurdwara at 8:27 p.m. on Sunday.
Witnesses reported that two gunmen fled after shooting. IHIT is currently investigating the matter. At this time, the police have not released any further information regarding the incident.
A New York lawyer Gurpatwant Singh Pannun told Postmedia that he talked to Guru Nanak Gurdwara president Hardeep Singh Nijjar Saturday.
“They told him that there were threats to his life,” the lawyer said.
Pannun’s name was also mentioned by CSIS, according to Nijjar, who was supposed to meet the agent Tuesday to get more information.
“He said that he’s going to update me once he speaks to them.”
Nijjar also said he had heard from community members that “there are people in Vancouver who are trying to procure arms or weapons to kill.”
