Malik was shot dead by two gunmen while he sat in his car
Jose Lopez, a hitman in the Ripudaman Singh Malik assassination, has been sentenced to life imprisonment by the Supreme Court of British Columbia (BC) in [Canada](https://www.newsbytesapp.com/news/world/canada).
The 26-year-old, who pleaded guilty to second-degree murder, won't be eligible for parole for 20 years.
Malik was earlier implicated, but later acquitted, in the tragic 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182—also known as the Kanishka—that killed all 329 people on board.
