2. Kanishka Bombing case
This was a major blow to RAW's working efficiency.
On 23 June 1985, Indian aircraft Boeing 747-237B was blown up by a bomb at an altitude of 31,000 feet (9,400 m) near Ireland. The incident caused the death of 329 passengers.
On the same day, with a gap of an hour, another explosion occurred Tokyo's Narita airport's transit baggage building where baggage was being transferred from Cathay Pacific Flight No CP 003 to Air India Flight 301, which was scheduled for Bangkok.
Both aircraft were loaded with explosives from Canadian airports.
Flight 301 got saved because of a delay in its departure.
This was a failure on RAW's part as they were responsible to counter Khalistan movements.
