Provincial police have identified the victim as 52-year-old Rabinder Malhi from Brampton. A GoFundMe campaign launched by Malhi’s wife following his death describes him as a role model to their two sons in university.
She pointed to “tensions” in the community having become “disturbingly prevalent,” in reference to her husband’s death, and claimed he “fell victim to a crime rooted in hate.”
Investigators have not released any further information about the homicide investigation, including the cause of death, a possible motive, or whether the accused and the victim knew each other.
The Caledon OPP Major Crime Unit is investigating under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch.
Authorities encourage anyone with information that might assist with the investigation to contact the OPP or Crime Stoppers to remain anonymous.
