Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to Hardeep Singh Nijjar, Khalistani terrorists who died in recent times

Punjab was rocked by a violent Khalistan separatist movement in the 1980s and early 1990s, in which thousands of people died.

From Gurpatwant Singh Pannun to Happy Sanghera, here we list some Khalistani terrorists who died in recent times.
