Written by Anirudh Bhattacharyya | Designed by Vignesh Radhakrishnan
On June 23, 1985, the Air India Boeing 747, named after the Kushan dynasty emperor Kanishka, took off from Toronto for a journey that was scheduled to include stops at Montreal’s Mirabel airport, London’s Heathrow, Delhi’s Palam and Bombay’s Sahar. After the flight number 182 arrived in Montreal, more passengers boarded to make for full complement of 329, including 22 crew members.
The plane departed for England for the next leg. It made contact with the Shannon Air Traffic Control Center, but five minutes later, vanished off the radar screen.
A bomb, sent via Vancouver, placed in cargo had exploded. Remnants of the plane were found off the Irish coast. There were no survivors. It has been attributed mainly to the terrorist outfit Babbar Khalsa, while the Canadian Commission of Inquiry also mentioned the International Sikh Youth Federation.

Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) (Punjabi language: ਬੱਬਰ ਖ਼ਾਲਸਾ, [bəbːəɾ xɑlsɑ]), also known as Babbar Khalsa, is a Khalistani militant armed organization based in India. The Indian government considers Babbar Khalsa a terrorist group, while Babbar Khalsa's supporters consider the Babbar Khalsa as a resistance movement,[3][4] and it played a prominent role in the Punjab insurgency. Babbar Khalsa International was created in 1978, after a number of Sikhs were killed in clashes with the Nirankari sect.[5] It was active throughout the 1980s in the Punjab insurgency but its influence declined in the 1990s after several senior members were killed in encounter killings with police.[5]
