According to an intelligence dossier accessed by NDTV, murdered Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar was involved in crime since the 1980s. Nijjar, who fled to Canada in 1996, allegedly travelled to Pakistan for arms training and ordered killings in Punjab while in Canada. The dossier states Nijjar planned a terror attack on Dera Sacha Sauda headquarters and tasked gangster Arshdeep Singh Gill to carry out murders of father-son duo Manohar Lal Arora and Jatinderbir Singh Arora in 2020. Nijjar built a terror ecosystem in Punjab from Canada before being gunned down outside a Gurdwara in Surrey in June. Canadian PM Justin Trudeau claimed "Indian agents" were behind the killing, igniting a diplomatic row.
