<p>The killing of terrorist Hardeep Singh Nijjar, a leader in a widely denounced separatist cause of Khalistan, has now emerged as a "larger and more organised" operation than previously known, according to footage from the site of the killing reported by the Washington Post.</p>

<p>The report cites a number of Khalistani separatists, including Moninder Singh, one of the founders of the Sikh Liberation Front (SLF), who claimed that Nijjar's car was bugged with a tracker and that he was purportedly a target. It also quotes the&nbsp;Sikh community members as telling&nbsp;the investigators that the assailants fired about 50 bullets on Nijjar, of which 34 hit the Khalistani terrorist.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Hardeep Singh Nijjar entered Canada in the late 1990s on a fake passport and produced false asylum claims based on fake marriages. He became a Canadian citizen in May 2007.

<p>Nijjar’s killing was captured by a security camera at Guru Nanak Sikh Gurdwara in Canada's Surrey.</p>

<p>A 90-second recording of the video begins with Nijjar’s grey pickup truck pulling out of a parking space, Washington Post reported.</p>

<p>A white sedan appears in an adjacent lot, pulls up and drives parallel to the truck, the report adds.</p>

<p>It further says that when the truck speeds up, the sedan matches its pace. Then the truck merges into the sedan’s lane and for a moment they’re side-by-side. As the vehicles approach the parking lot exit, the sedan pulls in front and brakes to block the truck.</p>

<p>"Two men in hooded sweatshirts emerge from under a covered waiting area and move toward the truck. Each points a firearm at the driver’s seat. The sedan exits the parking lot and drives out of view. Then the two men run in the same direction," the Washington Post report says, following which the paper cites witness accounts of what are deemed to be gunshots.</p>
