2 charged with murder, obstruction of justice in death of Brampton’s Rabinder Singh Malhi

The Caledon Detachment of the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) has charged two individuals in relation to the homicide of Rabinder Malhi.
Officers were called to a residence on Deer Ridge Trail shortly before 10:00 p.m. on November 9, 2024, where one person was located injured and later pronounced deceased at the hospital.
The deceased has been identified as Rabinder Malhi, 52 years old of Brampton.
As a result of the ongoing investigation, members of the Caledon OPP Major Crime Unit charged Rajinder Kumar, 47 years old of Caledon, with second degree murder, section 235(1) of the Criminal Code (CC). Additionally, Sheetal Verma, 35 years old of Caledon, was charged with obstruct justice, section 139(2) CC. The accused is scheduled to appear before the Ontario Court of Justice in Orangeville on December 12, 2024.
Although investigation is still ongoing and police have not yet given reason behind the murder, social media platform was full of reports on an argument between Malhi and Kumar leading to his death.
Malhi’s wife has created GoFundMe page to raise funds to help the family in difficult time. On the fundraiser Rabinder is described as “more than a husband and father; he was the cornerstone of our family and a gentle, steadfast presence in our lives. His love for us was boundless, his dedication unmatched. To our sons, both full-time university students, he was a role model and hero, always teaching them the values of compassion, integrity, and resilience.”
“Rabinder, a man of peace and respect, fell victim to a crime rooted in hate, a tragic loss that has shattered our family and left a void that words can barely begin to express. In a matter of moments, our world was torn apart,” his wife wrote.
The Caledon OPP Major Crime Unit is continuing the investigation under the direction of the OPP Criminal Investigation Branch, with assistance from OPP Forensic Identification Services, in conjunction with the Office of the Chief Coroner and Ontario Forensic Pathology Service.
