KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia has deported a suspected Sikh militant wanted for the 2009 killing of an Indian politician, police said today.

Inpector-General of Police Khalid Abu Bakar said in a statement that the man, 36, using a fake Nepalese passport, was arrested in Johor Baru on October 24 for immigration offences and deported yesterday.

He is alleged to be part of a Sikh militant group responsible for the 2009 killing of Indian politician Rulda Singh.

Rulda Singh was a former president of Sikh hardline group Rashtriya Sikh Sangat, which supports the Hindu nationalist grassroots organisation linked to country’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party.

Khalid said Malaysian authorities cooperated with their Indian counterparts to make the arrest, bringing to six the total number of militants believed to be linked to the group held since 2009.
