Nijjar was murdered in Canada in June this year, following which the Canadian government accused India of involvement in the murder, although the Indian government has vehemently denied the allegations. In order to confiscate Nijr’s property, the NIA team issued a notice to his family about 10 days ago.

Nizr was a resident of Bhar Singpura in Jalandhar.
