TIL Desk/World/Ottawa/ The Canadian police have said they are still working to determine the motive behind the targeted killing of Ripudaman Singh Malik, a 75-year-old Sikh man acquitted in the tragic 1985 Air India Kanishka terrorist bombing case.
Malik was shot dead in Surrey, British Columbia on Thursday. Malik and co-accused Ajaib Singh Bagri were acquitted in 2005 of mass murder and conspiracy charges related to the two bombings in 1985 that killed 331 people. The report cited a witness who said he “heard three shots and pulled Malik from his red Tesla bleeding from a neck wound.”
Another witness from a nearby business identified that the victim of the shooting was Malik. Surrey Royal Canadian Mounted Police said a “man shot at that location at around 9:30 am succumbed to his injuries at the scene. They say it appears to be a targeted shooting and are not releasing the victim’s name.” The police said they located a “suspect vehicle” which was “engulfed in fire,” the report added.
