A Delhi court on Thursday granted bail to two Sikh hijackers, who have been put on trial here after 36 years of the incident. The two have already served life term in Pakistan for hijacking an Air India plane in 1981 to Lahore (Pakistan).

Granting them regular bail, additional chief metropolitan magistrate Jyoti Kler asked Satnam Singh and Tejinder Pal Singh to furnish a personal bond of Rs 2 lakh and two sureties of like amount each.

A fresh trial against them under sedition charges will begin on July 31. The court had on Tuesday granted two-day interim bail to the duo after they appeared before it.
