A man acquitted in the 1985 Air India terrorism case was shot to death outside his Surrey business Thursday morning.
Ripudaman Singh Malik, a one-time supporter of the Sikh separatist Khalistan movement, was killed just before 9:30 a.m. in the 8200-block of 128th Street.
In March 2005, Malik and his Babbar Khalsa associate Ajaib Singh Bagri, were acquitted by a B.C. Supreme Court judge of murder and conspiracy charges in Canada’s deadliest terrorism attack.
