Many in the Sikh community and the community at large believe that there is a high likelihood that Ajmer was not murdered simply by a crazed lone gunmen.  Ajmer has been outspoken about serious Human Rights violations committed against Sikhs by rogue factions of  the Punjab police and rogue factions of the Indian government paramilitary. Ajmer was an advocate for a nonviolent democratic vote by the citizens of Punjab to determine whether Punjab should remain a state of India or form a new nation called Khalistan. 

The Hayward Daily Review reported a statement by Sgt. Jeff Wells of the Contra Costa Sheriff's Department about the above allegations. He said," While investigators have heard rumblings about politics being the motive for the shooting, they have no reason to believe any of those rumors.  Somebody is going to have to uncover some evidence to get us to believe (something) other than what the suspect says". 

Therefore we request information from anyone who has any information regarding the Death of our friend.  We request that, The Honorable, Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Prime Minister of India order a complete an thorough investigation of both civilian and government groups and individuals that may be culpable in the violent assassination of our friend Ajmer Singh Malhi. 
We further request that the Honorable, Sardar Parkash Singh Badal, Chief Minister of Punjab, India conduct a thorough investigation within his jurisdiction.
