I do my daily Ardaas for world peace as I do not like seeing my community or any community suffer due to violence,” he said in the letter. The newspaper also reported that in a separate letter to the Sikh community, Malik “urged them to desist from the vicious and motivated campaign.” “Violence in Punjab only ends up hurting the interests of the Sikh community in Punjab and throughout India and around the world. The newspaper also reported that Malik expressed happiness on the declaration of December 26 – the martyrdom of Guru Gobind Singh’s sons – as ‘Veer Baal Diwas’. Sources tell The VOICE that Malik may have been targeted because he reportedly wrote a letter to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressing his “deep heartfelt gratitude” for the unprecedented positive steps taken by his government for the Sikh community, as reported by the Hindustan Times newspaper of India on January 18. “At the same time, Singh showed concerns at an “orchestrated campaign” by some misguided members of the Sikh community against the Modi government and India. This, he said, is being done at the behest of some foreign powers which are interested in destabilising India and challenge its national integrity,” the Hindustan Times wrote.

The 2022 shooting death of Malik in Surrey, B.C., is another chapter in a decades-long saga that began with the Air India bombing that killed 329 people.

He is still not allowed to participate in political activities or contact any families of the Air India bombing victims. During his time in Canada, Malik founded the Khalsa Credit Union in 1986. He is later believed to have been the mastermind of both bombings. He is sentenced to 10 years in prison. At the time of the bombings, Parmar is based in Burnaby, B.C. An investigation into both bombings is immediately launched, involving authorities in Canada, Ireland, Japan and India, with focus quickly narrowing on India’s Sikh separatist movement. Reyat pleads guilty to just one count of manslaughter in connection with the Air India bombing, and is sentenced to five years in prison. The plea was believed to be part of a larger deal with prosecutors to cooperate in the case against Malik and Bagri. Only 131 bodies are ultimately recovered from the water by Irish salvage crews. Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri are charged with 329 counts of first-degree murder in connection with the Air India Flight 182 bombing, as well as murder, attempted murder and conspiracy in connection with the Narita airport bombing. In the meantime, Mounties and Japanese investigators eventually link the bomb parts from the Narita airport explosion to Reyat, who is accused of purchasing the parts and sending the suitcase bomb from Vancouver to Tokyo. After an eight-month trial, Reyat is found guilty of two counts of manslaughter and four explosives charges relating to the Narita airport bombing.
