Hitman Gets Life for Killing Acquitted Air India Bombing Suspect
The Spin
Narrative A
As more and more evidence emerges surrounding India's attempts to harass Canada's Sikh community, a thorough probe into New Delhi's potential role in Malik's death is warranted. A government report has even indicated connections between the Indian government and the assassination of another Sikh man, suggesting a pattern of transnational repression.
Narrative B
This "all eyes on India" approach shows how weak journalism is today. Any investigator worth their salt would know that Sikh separatists have strong ties to Canada's underground organized crime world. Many of these murders are likely not even politically motivated but rather the consequence of drug and money disputes.
Narrative C
At this point in the investigation, and more than two years after Malik's death, the easiest way to end this saga and obtain justice is for the assassins to expose who hired them. Malik's family has already lost a loved one, and all they're asking now — no matter who the culprit is — is for the truth to be told.
