Four Indian nationals accused in the murder of B.C. Sikh activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar are all due in court on Tuesday.
Amandeep Singh, 22, appeared via video link for his first appearance in a Surrey, B.C., court last week.
Singh was charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder earlier this month while he was already in the custody of Peel Regional Police in Ontario for unrelated firearms charges.
Karan Brar, Kamalpreet Singh and Karanpreet Singh, who already face the same charges following their arrests in Edmonton, are also scheduled to be in a Surrey courtroom on Tuesday.
Nijjar was president of the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Surrey and a key organizer for overseas voting on an independent Sikh state in India. He was shot dead in the gurdwara’s parking lot in June 2023.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said credible intelligence linked Nijjar’s death to Indian government involvement, but India has denied being involved in the case.
