New Delhi: The decades-old investigation into the Air India Flight 182 Kanishka bombing has returned to the spotlight after reports suggested that Canadian authorities may reduce the scale of the probe. The possible move has disappointed families of the victims, who say several questions linked to the 1985 tragedy still need answers.
The bombing of Air India Flight 182 remains one of the deadliest aviation attacks in history. The development has once again highlighted the long search for accountability by those who lost their loved ones in the incident.
Families of the victims have expressed concern over the possibility of the investigation being slowed down or moved towards closure. They believe that even after several decades, authorities should continue examining available information and pursuing any possible leads.
Relatives of those who died in the attack have repeatedly called for a complete understanding of the events that led to the bombing and the role of those involved.
Air India Flight 182, popularly known as Kanishka, was travelling from Montreal to Delhi through London when it exploded over the Atlantic Ocean on June 23, 1985.
All 329 passengers and crew members on board lost their lives in the attack. A large number of victims were Canadian citizens, making the incident one of the most significant terrorism-related tragedies in Canada’s history.
The investigation that followed became one of Canada’s most complex terrorism probes, involving multiple agencies and years of legal proceedings.
For victims’ families, the Kanishka bombing is not only a historical event but also a matter of justice and accountability. They have continued to push for transparency and further examination of unanswered aspects of the case.
The latest development has renewed discussions about whether investigations into major historical crimes should continue as long as new information remains possible
