Avtar Singh Khanda died in June 2023 from acute myeloid leukaemia, sparking concerns about possible foul play. A barrister for his family has requested an inquest, noting that the postmortem did not rule out poisoning. The family is troubled that samples were not tested for toxic agents potentially linked to cancer. Two weeks after Khanda’s death, activists in Canada and Pakistan were murdered while a third was targeted in the US. West Midlands police have been criticized for their lack of comprehensive investigation into his death and the surrounding circumstances.
The official cause of death was acute myeloid leukaemia; however, family claims poisoning cannot be completely excluded based on postmortem findings.
Witness statements reveal West Midlands police failed to investigate crucial evidence, including Khanda's electronic devices and communications with friends.
Activists associated with Sikh separatism were murdered shortly after Khanda's death, raising suspicions surrounding his sudden demise.
There are calls for an inquest into Khanda’s death due to insufficient examination of potential exposure to harmful agents.
