26 years before he was shot, Nijjar landed in Canada with fake papers

Over the past several years, Nijjar had been actively involved in advocating anti-India actions. In 2020, Nijjar’s name was added to the list of terrorists after facing charges under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) for providing training and financial support to members of the KTF module. In July of the following year, the NIA offered a reward of Rs 10 lakh for information leading to Nijjar’s apprehension.
