The Sikh leader’s murder has triggered diplomatic tensions between Ottawa and New Delhi.
Hardeep Singh Nijjar was shot dead outside the Guru Nanak Sikh Gurudwara on the evening of June 18.
He was initially associated with the Babbar Khalsa International Sikh separatist group, according to India’s counter-terrorist, National Investigation Agency. New Delhi has listed BKI as a “terrorist organisation” and says it is funded by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence spy agency, a charge Islamabad denies.
New Delhi officially categorised him as a “terrorist” in the same statement, saying he was involved in “exhorting seditionary and insurrectionary imputations” and “attempting to create disharmony among different communities” in the country.
