A fourth individual has been arrested and charged for his role in the homicide of Hardeep Singh Nijjar.
IHIT says 22-year-old Amandeep Singh was arrested Saturday. He was already in custody for unrelated firearms charges from the Peel Regional Police.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a high-profile pro-Khalistan activist, was shot and killed in broad daylight outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara on June 18, 2023.
IHIT says Singh is an Indian national who resided in Brampton, Surrey, and Abbotsford.
Three other Indian nationals were arrested and charged in the case last week. Karanpreet Singh, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karan Brar were arrested in Edmonton last week and are all are facing charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to murder.
All cases are now before the courts.
IHIT says there are multiple ongoing investigations related to the case — and more arrests are possible.
More to come.
