SURREY, Canada A man acquitted in a terrorist bombing that killed 329 people aboard an Air India flight in 1985 was slain Thursday in a possible targeted shooting, Canadian authorities said.
Officials said the slain man was Ripudaman Singh Malik, who with co-defendant Ajaib Singh Bagri was found not guilty in March 2005 of murder and conspiracy in a pair of Air India bombings that killed 331 people on June 23, 1985.
Police had not initially released the dead mans identity, but confirmed it after Maliks son, Jaspreet Malik, reported his fathers slaying in a statement on social media.
The media will always refer to him as someone charged with the Air India bombing, the son wrote on Facebook. The media and [Canadian police] never seemed to accept the courts decision and I pray todays tragedy is not related.
