A report published by the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation (CBC) in 2003 has resurfaced and is going viral on social media, causing a fresh wave of outrage over allegations that Canada's security agency, the Canadian Security and Intelligence Service (CSIS), had a mole inside the group responsible for the 1985 Air India Flight 182 bombing. This resurgence comes at a time when India-Canada relations have hit a new low following recent political tensions between the two nations.

However, the agency allegedly pulled Gill out at the last minute to ensure he would not be implicated in the attack. The report, which remained controversial at the time of its publication, has drawn renewed attention amid a broader diplomatic fallout between Ottawa and New Delhi.
