Ripudaman Singh Malik, the man acquitted in the 1985 Air India terrorist bombing, has been killed in a targeted shooting in Surrey, B.C.
An employee who works at the car wash near the site of the shooting said he heard shots and ran outside to find Malik unconscious in his car.
“There was three gunshots. One hit on the neck, that’s it. And I just took him out. He was alive,” said the man, who didn’t want to be named because of safety concerns.
I don’t know if this is a legitimate question — but it’s a good one.

With interest..
You reap what you sow.
Zero Fks given for that pos terrorist
Now…khadrs time..??
Just wait until the vaxxed finally figure it out…
yes I’ve not seen that BC Woman whining doctor Bonnie Henry for quite a while
Yeah, this country is going to be exciting when people have nothing left to lose. I’d hate to be a human piece of shit that coerced others into the kill shots….or one of their family members.
diversity is our strength .
First, good. Can’t remember why he was acquitted, must be the same judges denying organ transplants for non-injected or JoP’s refusing bail on mischief charges. If we were a real country he would have been dead in 1987.
Don’t give a f***.
Can’t remember why he was acquitted
Part of the reason was what happened with the wreckage of the airliner. It was located on the ocean floor off the coast of Ireland a few months after the mishap. It was, however, at a depth that it was next to impossible to recover, even if there was enough of the wreckage large enough to examine.
Without any physical evidence from that, leading to a determination of what actually happened, it would have been difficult to build a case against him, let alone bring a conviction.
One way which might determine what happened in an air mishap is to recover parts of the wreckage and lay it out as close as possible to it might have looked like when the plane had been assembled.
Unfortunately, for the Air India incident, there probably wasn’t much left intact as it was several hundred metres down. What the explosion didn’t destroy, water pressure would have distorted it. In addition, I don’t believe its black box was ever recovered.
That was the case when the remains of the U. S. S. Scorpion were found in the mid-Atlantic. Fragments were found, but the wreckage didn’t look much like parts from a submarine.
Similarly, when the SwissAir plane crashed off the coast of Nova Scotia, investigators found nothing but shards of metal. When the space shuttle Challenger broke up in flight, only the important pieces of the orbiter and the solid rocket boosters were ever recovered.
I guess no one wanted to pay to borrow the Glomar Explorer…
I think something like that or, at least, doing down with a submersible was suggested but that idea didn’t go anywhere.
The timing of the mishap, and the location of the subsequent wreck, might have been coincidental. After all, no actual evidence of a deliberate action was ever found, let alone recovered.
However, in the context of other evidence and circumstances, that seemed a bit too convenient. If it was premeditated, and there were definite indications that it was, someone certainly did their homework on how to cover up their trail.
When the Titanic was found that same year, it was noted that the debris field was spread over a large area of the ocean floor. As the ship went down, pieces of it would have broken off and currents would have carried them away from the main part of the wreck.
I believe something similar was noted with the remains of the Air India plane. Even if something had gone down to look at them, it would have been hard to find anything which would have indicated the cause.
They had the bomb parts from Narita
That in itself wouldn’t have been sufficient to prove that the Air India flight was brought down by a bomb.
All that was factually known was that contact with the plane was lost and it disappeared from air traffic control radar. Anything beyond that would have been circumstantial and speculative unless an actual piece of the wreckage showing damage which could actually be traced to a bomb was produced.
The evidence produced by the investigation introduced enough reasonable doubt that an acquittal was inevitable.
Malik = came to Canada with nothing, drove a taxi, became a multi-millionaire, Canadian success story, eh ?

Ethnic Indian gangbangers on the west coast have
become a force to be reckoned with.
And you don’t want to make them angry.

Has Jagmeet commented on the killing?
N-n-not y-y-yet.
Damned Israelis!
Police arrived in about 10 to 15 minutes, he said, and an ambulance took longer
Your taxpayer dollars at work … err, smoking break
That’s a typical response time, for some areas…
If you get unlucky and your incident happens during shift change it can take longer.
“About an hour later, a bomb destined for another Air India plane exploded prematurely at Tokyo’s Narita Airport, where two baggage handlers died”
No the bomb went off on time. The inbound flight was late.
Just like the flight from YYZ which was delayed due to a fifth pod being attached between #1 and #2 engines.
Three hundred and thirty two people killed.
Karma is patient.
I love it (sarcasm) when they go on in the press about how “racism” caused the bombings to unsolved for all these years, when everyone in (& outside) that “community” knew damn well who did it but kept quiet out of fear, cowardice or sympathy for the Khalistani cause.
Unfortunately, knowing who did it isn’t enough for a conviction. What’s required is concrete evidence (I believe the legal term is corpus delicti) and that was at the bottom of the sea, nicely out of reach.
Fundraising will be no problem…..Trudy will just order up another batch of Syrians. They’re much obliged to dance with the one that brung them.
Read Kim Bolan’s book: Loss of Faith: How the Air-India Bombers Got Away With Murder.
As the title says Malik got away with murder. Our police force (rcmp) totally botched the investigation and the perps walked.
