Toronto, March 7 -- Canadian law enforcement officials have confirmed that the killing of Nancy Grewal, a social media influencer and vocal critic of the Khalistan movement, was an "intentional act" and not a random incident of violence. Grewal, 45, was found with critical stab wounds at a residence in LaSalle, a suburb of Windsor, Ontario, shortly before 9.30pm on March 2. She was transported to a local hospital where she later succumbed to her injuries. In a statement issued on Thursday, LaSalle police chief Michael Pearce said: "Investigators are confident this was not a random act of violence. Ms Grewal's murder is being investigated as an intentional act against her. All information is being considered." While acknowledging significant public interest, the LaSalle Police Service said they would not disclose specific leads or investigative avenues to avoid compromising the case. The department also noted it was aware of various narratives and motives circulating on social media regarding the Todd Lane homicide. Meanwhile, a social media account promoting Sikh extremist views has claimed responsibility for the killing, according to a media report. A social media account in a post in Punjabi said that Nancy Grewal of Windsor was killed over her criticism of the Khalistani movement, CBC News said late on Thursday night. Asserting that CBC has not independently verified the account or the information, the report quoted a caption shown over a picture of Grewal that said, "This woman was saying bad things about religion and Khalistan. And she got the result of that." "We don't have anything against any community or religion, and if anyone say something against our community and Khalistan like this, they will meet the same fate," the CBC report added, quoting the same caption. Grewal, who moved to Canada from Ludhiana in 2018, had built a substantial following on YouTube and Instagram for her sharp commentary on Punjab politics. In recent videos, she took a strident stand against pro-Khalistan elements, accusing politicians of ignoring extremism for "the sake of votes". In one of her final reels, she said: "Now is the time to take a stand against these Khalistani criminal people," adding, "I'm a Canadian citizen, but I don't feel safe in this country right now." Speaking to Hindustan Times in Jalandhar, Grewal's mother, Shinderpal Kaur, 70, alleged that her daughter had been living under a shadow of fear. "Local radicals developed an enmity with Nancy over her content," she said. She further revealed a pattern of escalating violence: "Two months ago, unidentified miscreants set her house ablaze. She survived and reported it to the police. She even received a death threat letter recently; we have provided the names of three suspects to the authorities." Originally from Narangwal village in Ludhiana, Grewal moved to LaSalle from Calgary following a divorce. She worked as a caregiver while maintaining her digital presence, where she frequently used the derisive term 'Khotaistanis' to describe separatists. Her family learned of her death on March 4 after she failed to answer repeated calls. Her mother is expected to fly to Canada for the final rites. Detectives are currently canvassing the LaSalle area for video surveillance, though no suspects have been officially named....
