Surrey pro-Khalistan organizer warned by Police of \u2018imminent threat to life\u2019<\/p>\n
Published 3:30 pm Wednesday, April 15, 2026<\/p>\n
A Surrey man active in organizing pro-Khalistan events was recently warned by police of \u201can imminent threat to his life.\u201d<\/p>\n
Narinder Singh Randhawa told the Surrey Now-Leader that he was called by Surrey Police and issued a \u201cduty to warn\u201d notification when he was at the Vancouver Vaisakhi Parade on April 11 due to the \u201curgency of the situation.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThey tried to stop my voice, stop my campaign, like the referendum and protest. I\u2019m not scared and I\u2019m going to continue my campaign,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
He was contacted again two days later by the police to confirm the warning.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe warning was based on intelligence from multiple law enforcement agencies, including the RCMP,\u201d noted a Sikhs for Justice news release on Wednesday (April 15).<\/p>\n
His wife was also contacted on April 14 about the threat.<\/p>\n
Surrey Police Service said it could not confirm whether a duty to warn was issued, as such documents contain \u201cprivate and sensitive information involving operational police matters.\u201d<\/p>\n
Randhawa said he wanted to come forward and let the public know about the warning.<\/p>\n
He believes \u201cIndian agencies\u201d are behind the threats.<\/p>\n
Many pro-Khalistan supporters have received \u201cduty to warn\u201d notices from police over the years, including Surrey Sikh temple president Hardeep Singh Nijjar, with whom Randhawa was friends.<\/p>\n
Nijjar, 45, was shot to death on June 18, 2023, in the parking lot of Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara, in the 7000-block of Scott Road in Newton. He was found in his truck.<\/p>\n
Amandeep Singh, Karan Brar, Kamalpreet Singh, and Karanpreet Singh are charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder. None of these allegations has been proven in court as the case slowly makes its way through the B.C. Supreme Court.<\/p>\n
Nijjar was an ardent supporter of the Khalistani movement, which seeks to secure an independent Sikh nation in India, and his supporters maintain that India\u2019s government was involved in his killing.<\/p>\n
The Indian government denies any involvement.<\/p>\n
Randhawa and his friend, Manjinder Singh, have organized monthly protests on the 18th of every month in front of the Indian Consulate in Vancouver. Narinder has also received a duty to warn. He has also helped organize Khalistan Referendum-related events throughout the province.<\/p>\n
Sikhs for Justice also sent a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney on Sept. 18, 2025, raising their concerns and asking how the government will protect pro-Khalistan Canadians who allegedly continue to face threats as they advocate for the Khalistan referendum.<\/p>\n
Former prime minister Justin Trudeau claimed in a Sept. 18, 2023, speech to the House of Commons that \u201cCanadian security agencies have been actively pursuing credible allegations of a potential link between agents of the Government of India and the killing of a Canadian citizen, Hardeep Singh Nijjar.\u201d<\/p>\n
On Thanksgiving Monday in October 2024, Trudeau held a news conference after the RCMP announced the \u201cextraordinary\u201d step of warning the public about safety threats to Canadians linked to Indian government officials. Trudeau said India had fundamentally violated Canada\u2019s sovereignty and international law by targeting Canadians with murder, extortion and coercion.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Surrey pro-Khalistan organizer warned by Police of \u2018imminent threat to life\u2019 Published 3:30 pm Wednesday, April 15, 2026…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":607740,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[194299],"tags":[49,48,87674],"class_list":{"0":"post-607739","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-surrey","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-surrey"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607739","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=607739"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/607739\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/607740"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=607739"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=607739"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=607739"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
