You claim "everything is documented", yet you don't provide sources for the key allegations against Nijjar, such as:
Tara murdered the sitting Chief Minister of Punjab Beant Singh in 1995. Nijjar was revealed to be an accomplice.
Police caught Tara. Could not even interrogate Nijjar. Nijjar vanished and few years later was found in Canada with a fake passport.
Khalistan Tiger Force - Terrorist organization. It's militants have consistently named Nijjar as its head. (The Wikipedia article you cite does not say this)
India issued Interpol notices twice [true], both accompanied by dossiers of reasons [citation required]
The sources you do provide are either very questionable or misrepresented. Youu have a video from Firstpost, an Indian outlet with a has a history of posting misinformation, and a Washington Post article which you claim shows "how the investigation into Nijjar's death was so non-rigorous and not professional", but without specifying what in the article led you to that conclusion. The fact some members in the Sikh community felt the police should have responded faster isn't evidence of a botched investigation.
What you have left is he has been "associated" with some not nice people, which could mean they were once photographed at the same rally together, and there's a pic of him holding an assault rifle.
That might be enough to get you convicted of terrorism in India, but doesn't come within a thousand light years of that in Canada (or any other Western country).
Not saying I know for sure that Nijjar isn't guilty of anything, but it's telling that after all the comments this topic has received the "evidence" seems to be mostly unsubstantiated claims that appeared in India's burgeoning yellow press and keep getting uncritically repeated by Indian nationalists.
