Hardeep Singh Nijjar killing: Washington Post report details eyewitness accounts

The Washington Post has reported that at least 6 people and 2 vehicles were involved in the killing of Khalistani leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar on June 18. The news outlet said its report was based on CCTV footage and accounts of eyewitnesses it spoke to.

Bhupinderjit Singh, a volunteer at the gurdwara outside which Nijjar was killed, told The Washington Post that he was playing football roughly 100 yards away when he heard the gunshots. Singh, the first witness to reach Nijjar’s truck, opened the driver’s side door and grabbed the gurdwara leader, who did not seem to be breathing.

Singh then drove off in pursuit of the attackers with another gurdwara member who was also on the spot.

A gurdwara member named Malkit Singh was also playing football in the area and saw the two hooded men who had fired at Nijjar running away from the spot. He chased them. Washington Post quoted Malkit as saying that the attackers were wearing ‘a Sikh get-up’. He described one attacker as ‘over five feet tall and heavyset’ and the other as ‘about 4 inches taller and leaner.’

The men reportedly got into a waiting silver car with three other men waiting inside it. Malkit told the Washington Post that one of the running men even pointed a pistol at him before getting into the car.
