On December 20, 1998, Bhupinder Johal Singh was dancing at the Palladium nightclub in Vancouver and living his life. He was known to many in the Punjabi Canadian community who saw his criminal career as a gateway to enter his preferred lifestyle and to curb inter -racial discrimination and persecution.

When he was shot from behind at 4:30 p.m, there was a lot of noise and anxiety but not a single witness could describe the attacker. Bindy Johal was rushed to a nearby hospital but would die within 4 hours. Interestingly, it seemed this was a definite purposeful hit as some of Johal’s friends were also killed just four months before Johal’s death itself.

Before Bhupinder Johal Singh died, Bal Buttar told a reporter In 2004, that he ordered Johal’s murder, for fear that if he did not do so, Johal would kill Bal.

The kidnapping trial began with two months of his murder; Buttar would serve a sentence of up to 10 years if he is convicted, but Buttar was not convicted in Johal’s murder.
