Murdered by mistake: Still no charges after B.C. correctional officer gunned down in gang war

The last time Dupinder Randhawa saw his brother Bikram alive, he was asleep on the living room couch, looking forward to his Saturday off. Dupinder was off to work, but called out to his sibling as he was leaving.

“I just told him I’m going to work and I’ll see you in the evening. And he said, OK, fine,’” Dupinder recalled recently. “And then I just came back in the evening and he wasn’t home.”

Their roommate said Bikram, a popular correctional officer hoping to join the RCMP, had gone to get groceries.

Dupinder called their mom and dad in Punjab to catch up on family news.

“They asked where Bikram is — just like a normal routine call,” Dupinder said. He told them Bikram was shopping and might be hanging out with friends.
