One of the Indian nationals suspected to be behind the killing of Khalistani separatist Hardeep Singh Nijjar entered Canada using a study permit, according to a report in Canada-based Global News.
Karan Brar, who was arrested along with two others on May 3, said in a video posted in 2019 that he applied for a student visa through EthicWorks Immigration Services in Punjab's Bathinda and received it in days. The standard Canada student visa processing time is approximately 7–9 weeks.
EthicWorks Immigration Services had posted the promotional video on its Facebook page carrying a photo of Brar in which he is seen holding a passport with a Canadian study permit inside. The video, however, has now been deleted.
"Congratulations Karan Brar for Canada study visa... One more happy client from Kotkapura," the caption read.
