Leaders in the B.C. Sikh community say a well-known Sikh activist and friend of murdered gurdwara president Hardeep Singh Nijjar was the target in a South Surrey shooting early Thursday morning.

In a press conference Thursday evening, BC Gurdwaras Council spokesperson Moninder Singh identified the target as Simranjeet Singh, a well-known member of the Sikh community and a supporter of the Khalistan movement. The members also believed this shooting was the work of the Indian state.

"We feel this is definitely what India's pattern of violence has been against Sikhs in the last year or so," Singh said. "This is what India would do to frighten, or warn, or strike fear in the hearts of Sikhs."

Surrey RCMP confirmed no one was hurt in the shooting.
