Hello,
One of two men acquitted in the 1985 Air India terrorist bombing was shot and killed in British Columbia on Thursday morning, according to media reports.
RCMP say they responded to reports of gunfire in an area of the city of Surrey, southeast of Vancouver, and located a man suffering from gunshot wounds.
“The man was provided first aid by attending officers until Emergency Health Services took over his care. The injured man succumbed to his injuries on scene, “ according to a statement from RCMP Constable Sarbjit Sangha.
The constable said the shooting was targeted, and a suspect vehicle fully engulfed in fire was found nearby.
Reports say the deceased man is Ripudaman Singh Malik, who owned a business in the area.
Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri were arrested in 2000 and acquitted in 2005 on charges of murder in the deaths of 329 people – most of them Canadians – killed on June 23, 1985, when Flight 182 en route from Canada to India via England crashed into the Atlantic Ocean.
The plane was brought down by a bomb.
The pair were also charged with the murder of two men killed at Tokyo’s Narita airport 54 minutes before the attack on Flight 182. The prosecution alleged the men were part of a conspiracy to plant bombs on Air India flights.
In handing down the acquittal, a B.C. Supreme Court justice ruled that witnesses testifying against the pair were not credible and testimony from several RCMP officers did not meet the standard required by the court.
Inderjit Singh Reyat was the only person ever convicted in the Air India bombing, in 1991, of manslaughter in the deaths of two baggage handlers who were killed at Tokyo’s Narita Airport when a suitcase bomb destined for the Air India flight

This guy praised Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in his writings recently and that doesn’t go over well with a lot of his fellow Sikhs.
Cleaning up loose ends ?
..according to a statement from “RCMP Constable Sarbjit Sangha”. Is that a traditional Inuit name?
Hope he suffered. Cheers to the vigilante.
The hit man/men burned their own car?
100,000 Sikhs live in Surrey BC. Largest population outside of India in that town.
Burning the car used in the scene was likely stolen for the use and then burned to eliminate any trace dna evidence from being extracted. Smart vigilantes ...
Possibly stolen. Burned to destroy forensic evidence.
Justice delayed is justice………delayed.
Impressive.Thanks.
Indian sectarian violence brought to our shores.
Perhaps. If that’s the way it went down it would be the smart thing to do. The article wasn’t very clear.
The car could have crashed and burned while they were trying to escape. Or, given an even worse journalistic effort, “suspect car” could have even been a reference to the victim’s vehicle.
Journalism has fallen so far it often sounds like a transcript of something Biden or Kamalalala could have said.
Right. See #13.
“Is that a traditional Inuit name?”
RCMP was formed by the English, not Inuits.
Do you know where the border is between India and China?
The Fraser River….
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
No
The name if from the subcontinent. It is not of English derivation.
Sounds like he was found guilty this time.
