A judge's decision to acquit two Sikh men on charges of conspiracy and murder in the 1985 Air India bombing has divided the province's Sikh community.
Justice Ian Bruce Josephson's ruling that Ripudaman Singh Malik and Ajaib Singh Bagri are not guilty of conspiracy and murder in the downing of Flight 182 and a bomb that killed two baggage handlers at Japan's Narita Airport was the hot topic among Sikhs in B.C.'s lower mainland, where the two men lived and worked.
At the moderate Guru Nanak temple, the verdict was a hotly discussed topic. Sadhu Samra, vice-president of the temple, said the ruling didn't bring closure.
"My question is that if they are not guilty, then who did it?" said Samra.
