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.[1][2]
Four years after the bombing, he publicly congratulated "those families who have produced such martyrs" as the perpetrators.[1]
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.[2]
