Air India perjury trial begins
|
Mon Mar 8, 2010 CBC News The only person ever convicted in the Air India bombing 25 years ago was back in court in Vancouver on Monday to face perjury charges. Inderjit Singh Reyat has been accused of lying 27 times at the trial of Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri, who were acquitted in 2005 of first-degree murder and conspiracy for the bombing of Air India Flight 182. The Crown alleges Reyat lied 27 times under oath during the trial — mostly when claiming not to remember details of the 1985 bomb plot or the name of one of the men involved — prompting B.C. Supreme Court Justice Ian Josephson to call him "an unmitigated liar." |
