Sukhdev Singh Dasuwal (9 August 1955 − 9 August 1992), known as Sukhdev Singh Babbar, was an Indian militant, Sikh separatist, and co-leader of Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), a Sikh militant organisation involved in the pursuit of creating a Sikh nation named as "Khalistan" and generally believed responsible for the 1985 bombing of Air India Flight 182. BKI was founded by Talwinder Singh Parmar, himself, and Amarjit Kaur. He commanded BKI continuously for 14 years until he was killed in 1992. Sukhdev was wanted in multiple cases of murder, extortion, kidnapping, and sexual assault. He served as a key planner of militant attacks and the biggest supplier of weapons and bombs to militants from Pakistan.
