Khalistani scared of the murder of Hardeep Singh Nijjar

Who was Khanda?
Avtar Singh initially went to the UK in 2007 on a study visa, but took refuge there in 2012 and has never returned since then. There are allegations that he was linked to other anti-India activities, including the attack on the tricolor at the Indian High Commission in London a few months back.

Khalistani was also killed in Pakistan

In January, Harmeet Singh alias Happy PhD was killed in the premises of a gurdwara near Lahore. Harmeet Singh was involved in the training of Narco Terror and Khalistani terrorists.

Now fear tormented Pannun

On June 18, his associate Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead in Canada. Pannun and Nijjar worked together and visited Australia, among other countries, to launch the Khalistan referendum campaign.
Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) chief Nijjar had joined hands with Pannun in 2019. He was tasked with running the Referendum 2020 campaign in Canada and was a known face of the Khalistani outfit Sikhs for Justice (SFJ). He also did several demonstrations and car rallies in Surrey and Vancouver, Canada. Gurpatwant Singh Pannun usually takes credit for incidents related to terrorism in India. Apart from the mysterious death of Avtar Singh Khanda, Khalistani has remained silent about the killing of terrorists. After the death of Nijjar, Pannun also stopped its promotion and has not released any audio/video since then.
India behind the death of Khalistanis
Pro-Khalistani organizations have claimed that Indian agencies are behind the death of these terrorists, due to which terrorists like Pannun have been forced to hide. The World Sikh Organization of Canada on Tuesday alleged the role of Indian intelligence agencies in the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar. It called on Canadian intelligence and law enforcement agencies to “thoroughly investigate the killing of Hardeep Singh Nijjar, including the role of foreign interference, specifically India’s role.”
The report said that not only Pannun, but there are many other Khalistani and terrorists based in UK, US, Canada, Australia and Pakistan who have gone into hiding after the deaths. A number of terrorists belonging to various Khalistani organizations including Khalistan Liberation Force (KLF), International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) and Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) are hiding. The fear has become a reality for separatists based in countries including Canada, US, Australia, UK and Greece after the recent deaths of Khalistani terrorists.
NIA has handled the responsibility
The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has taken over the investigation into the attacks by Khalistan sympathizers on Indian missions in the US and Canada in March. In March this year, the NIA was also handed over the investigation into the incidents of violent protests and attempted sabotage outside the Indian High Commission in London. The NIA had registered FIRs under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) in connection with the attacks in March. The investigation into the attacks in the US and Canada has now been transferred to the NIA, he added.
It is noteworthy that a group of pro-Khalistan protesters attacked and damaged the Indian Consulate in San Francisco, USA. Raising slogans, the protesters pushed open the temporary security barriers and put up two so-called Khalistani flags at the consulate premises. However, the embassy personnel removed these flags.
