Ripudaman Singh Malik

The day before Ripudaman Singh Malik was murdered in July 2022, a pair of hired hit men showed up at his B.C. business, "scoping out the scene" for several minutes before driving away.

The son of Sikh community leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar says his father met regularly with Canadian intelligence officers in the months before he was shot dead in British Columbia last June, a killing that's been credibly linked to India, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons on Monday, Sept. 18, 2023.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team released a statement on Thursday, July 14, 2022, confirming Malik's death, saying the shooting appears to have been targeted and there was believed to be no further risk to the public.
