Three other people were waiting inside the silver car. He could not see their faces. Gurdwara caretaker Charanjit Singh remained with Nijjar’s body and the rest ran away after the killers. Charanjit Singh had seen him.

Questions raised on police

Eyewitnesses told The Post that it took 12 to 20 minutes for police officers to arrive after the gunshots were heard. Community members called the gap shocking, as they said a large number of policemen routinely patrol the neighborhood. It was also alleged that once officers arrived, a standoff ensued for hours between Surrey Police and RCMP. They could not decide who would lead the investigation. So it was too late.
