New video emerges of Sikh activist Hardeep Nijjar’s killing in British Columbia

A video has emerged of the shooting of Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, as he left the parking lot of a gurdwara in British Columbia.

The shooting caused a huge diplomatic rupture between India and Canada.

The fuzzy security video captures the entire sequence of what looks like a coordinated plot to kill Nijjar involving six people in two different cars. Another video from security footage shows Nijjar as he came out of the gurdwara before getting into his grey Dodge Ram pick-up truck.

The latest video footage which emerged today was obtained by The Fifth Estate, a show on CBC (Canadian Broadcasting Corporation).

The video shows Nijjar start to drive out of the parking lot when a white sedan draws up and blocks his truck. The two killers jump out of it and shoot him. They then flee the scene and jump into a second car, a silver Toyota Camry. Police said that the two killers had pumped over 30 bullets into Nijjar.

Two witnesses to the shooting who were playing football on a nearby field were also interviewed on the programme. One of them, Bhupinderjit Singh Sidhu, tells the interviewer: “We saw two guys running…We started running towards where the sound was coming from.” Sidhu said both men were wearing black and were masked.
