▪️The fourth person arrested in the case, Amandeep Singh, has been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy of Nijjar’s killing.

▪️22-year-old Amandeep Singh, an Indian national was residing in Brampton, Surrey and Abbotsford.

▪️”IHIT pursued the evidence and gained sufficient information for the BC Prosecution Service to charge Amandeep Singh with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder,” the police statement said.

▪️Earlier this month, police arrested three #Indian nationals — Karan Brar, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh — in Edmonton and charged them with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in the death of Nijjar, who was gunned down in the parking lot of the #Sikh temple in Surrey, where he was president.

▪️Nijjar’s death has sparked tensions between #Canada and #India, with Prime Minister @JustinTrudeau saying credible intelligence linked the killing to India’s government.

▪️The arrests have also heightened scrutiny on Canada’s permitting process for international students after revelations that a video posted online in 2019 by an India-based immigration consultancy showed Brar saying his “study visa has arrived,” while a photo showed him holding up what appeared to be a study permit.
