Procedural lapses and a key witness committing perjury led to Ripudaman Singh Malik being acquitted for his alleged role in the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing, also known as the Kanishka bombing
Malik and Bagri were charged with 329 counts of first-degree murder but were acquitted after Reyat, who was made a prosecution witness, said he could not remember details of the plot or the names of those involved.
Ripudaman Malik was allegedly associated with Babbar Khalsa, a terrorist outfit responsible for many terrorist incidents in Punjab. He was also a close associate of Talwinder Singh Parmar, the alleged mastermind of the Air India bombing.
