Daljit Sandhu

Who is Daljit Sandhu?

A former Canadian Gurdwara leader, and an alleged conspirator in the 1985 Air India Bombing, Daljit Sandhu is alleged to have picked up the airline tickets with which the bomb-laden suitcases were loaded onto the plane.

Four years after the bombing, he publicly congratulated "those families who have produced such martyrs" as the perpetrators.

In the resulting 2004 trial, he testified for the defence, and rebutted claims that he had picked up the airline tickets, pointing out that the witness' description of a man with his beard in a net and wearing a ring was only half-accurate, since he'd never worn a ring in his life.
