Hardeep Singh Nijjar was a plumber who served as president of a Sikh temple in Surrey, B.C. He was also wanted in India, where he was accused of being a leader of a militant separatist group.

That contradiction did not die with him when he was gunned down in a temple parking lot on Sunday night. Since then, he has been both mourned as a community leader, and cast as a terrorist.

Speaking to Global News long before his killing, the 45-year-old insisted India was falsely smearing him in retaliation for his activism in support of Sikhs.

Whether or not that was true, India wanted him arrested. The RCMP did so once, but he was not charged, although he was put on Canada's no-fly list.

The investigation into his murder is taking place amid concerns India may have grown tired of waiting for his arrest and ordered his killing. Global's Christa Dao has the latest on the investigation.
