According to the report, Nijjar, a Canadian citizen, has lived in Surrey since 1995.

He is wanted in India in connection with a blast at a cinema in Ludhiana in the Punjab province, where six people died in 2007.

The report alleges Nijjar has been training at least four Sikh youths on how to use AK-47s for the purpose of carrying out attacks in India.

The training took place “in a (rifle) range near Mission where they were made to fire for four hours daily,” said the report.

One of the trainees, Mandeep Singh, was arrested two weeks ago, said the Times. Singh arrived in India in January from Canada and is accused of being involved in a terrorist plot.
