Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri were acquitted in 2005 of mass murder and conspiracy charges related to the pair of Air India bombings that killed 331 people.

Supreme Court judge determined the primary witnesses were not credible and the evidence from RCMP and Crown had fallen “markedly short” of the threshold for conviction. Fox was arrested in Abbotsford on Tuesday and Lopez was arrested in New Westminster the same day, Supt. Mandeep Mooker with IHIT confirmed at a news conference on Wednesday.

Who Are Tanner Fox & Jose Lopez, Charged For Killing Ripudaman ... (The Quint)

Ripudaman Malik's Murder: Tanner Fox & Jose Lopez are both in their 20s and have a history of violent crimes in Abbotsford, British Columbia.

In 2019, he openly praised Prime Minister Narendra Modi and accused one section of the Sikh community of carrying out propaganda against PM Modi. Was the killing linked to the 1985 bombing? He was accused in the 1985 Kanishka Bombing case and later acquitted. Earlier this week, Meninder Dhaliwal of the Brothers' Keepers gang was gunned down at Whistler in British Columbia - a testimony to the continuing gang violence in the province. In November 2019, Tanner Fox was arrested by the Abbotsford Police in connection with a stabbing incident in a parking lot.
