Malkiat Singh Sidhu (died 27 April 1991) was the former Planning Minister of Punjab, India.
[2] On 25 May 1986, he was ambushed by four Sikhs who had learnt that he was visiting Canada on a private matter and was shot.
[3] Sidhu entered Canada to attend his nephew's wedding; although his entrance was not noted by Canadian authorities, Sikh extremists learned of the trip through "the efficiency of the Sikh intelligence network".
[7] In September 1987, their convictions were overturned when Michael Code,[10] showed that the wiretap evidence against the four attackers had been obtained on a fraudulent warrant by the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS), who had provided a judge with faulty evidence from a source known to be untrustworthy.
[13] Sidhu was one of five Indian politicians running for office who were killed in 1991, gunned down along with his bodyguard by militants on 27 April while walking from his house in Moga to visit a friend.
