Santokh Bagga

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Santokh Singh Bagga was a CSIS informant who helped with the investigation of the 1985 Air India bombing.

Bagga received his doctorate in philosophy and psychology from Poona University in 1978.

He applied for refugee status, and came to Canada in 1986 with his son, Gursev.

Solicitor General James Kelleher sent a letter on March 30, 1987 stating that Bagga's security had to be kept in mind, and transferring his handling from CSIS to the RCMP.[1]

In May 1988, Bagga accused Secretary of State for External Affairs Joe Clark of interfering with his claim for refugee status to placate the Indian government.
