The RCMP in British Columbia say they have no plans to dispose of the wreckage of Air India Flight 182. At least not yet.

Pieces of the bombed airplane were used as evidence in the recent court trial that ended with the acquittal of two men who had been charged in the deaths of all 329 on board the plane, as well as two baggage handlers in Japan.

Less than 10 per cent of the wreckage of Air India Flight 182 was recovered. Most of the plane remains on the floor of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Ireland, where it has rested since the June 1985 bombing.

What was retrieved was used as evidence in the trial of Ajaib Singh Bagri and Ripudaman Singh Malik. It provided clues about the location of the bomb.

The wreckage was kept in a warehouse in a secret location in the Vancouver area where the RCMP rebuilt sections of the aircraft. Police say the reconstruction has now been dismantled and decisions will have to be made about what to do with it.

But with the investigation into the bombing continuing, RCMP Cpl. Tom Seaman says nothing will be given away in the short term.

"Any pieces of the wreckage would not be turned over until it's deemed they will not be required as any evidence or exhibits in a trial," he said.

If it isn't needed for a future trial, the victims' relatives would like to see the wreckage remain in Canada.

Susheel Gupta, who speaks on behalf of the relatives, says they're asking that it be turned over for inclusion in a national memorial.

"This is wreckage from a bombing where 329 people were murdered. I think the government of Canada owes it to these victims, and all Canadians, to recognize their murders formally, accept it as a Canadian incident," said Gupta.

But Canada may not have the final say about what happens to the wreckage. That decision will rest with the plane's owner, the government of India.
