CHANDIGARH: Punjab Chief Minister Amarinder Singh has directed the state legal department to help two Sikhs facing possibilities of “double jeopardy” in the hijacking of an Indian Airlines plane to Lahore 36 years ago. In a statement, Amarinder said that while the hijacking was condemnable, any attempt to prosecute the two, who have already completed life terms in Pakistan for the crime, would amount to a serious travesty of justice. Singh said that 36 years was a long time, especially considering that their life term would not have been more than 14 years.
