World News: A report by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC), first published in 2003, has resurfaced on social media, reigniting anger over the 1985 Air India bombing plot. The report claims that Canada's security agency, CSIS, had a mole within the group that orchestrated the bombing of Air India Flight 182, which resulted in the deaths of 329 people.

Allegations against CSIS

According to the CBC, the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS) pulled its mole, Surjan Singh Gill, out of the operation at the last minute to avoid implicating him. Gill, who described himself as the consul-general of Khalistan, was involved from the beginning but was ordered to "back out" by the Canadian authorities. The report quotes Sgt. Jim Hunter stating, "They told him to get out of there. That things are happening, and you can't be seen as part of that."

Destroyed evidence and continued probe

The report also alleges that CSIS destroyed "hundreds of wiretaps" related to the Air India investigation. However, in June of this year, Canadian law enforcement reaffirmed that the investigation remains active. This statement was issued during the 39th anniversary of the tragedy, contradicting the CBC’s claims.

The Air India bombing, which took place on June 23, 1985, saw Flight 182 explode off the Irish coast, killing all 329 passengers and crew on board. The bomb was hidden in a suitcase, and most of the victims were Canadian citizens of Indian descent.
