‘84 riots: Court to pass order on CBI’s clean chit to Tytler

A Delhi court is likely to pass its order on CBI’s closure report, giving clean chit to Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, on Monday.

Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate SPS Laler had reserved its order on October 30, after hearing arguments of the counsel for the CBI and the riots victim on whether to accept the closure report. The riot victims have filed a protest petition against the clean chit given thrice to Tytler by the CBI, claiming there was ample evidence to prosecute him. Lakhvinder Kaur, whose husband was killed in the riots, has challenged the report and sought the court’s direction to CBI to probe the matter further to bring on record available “incriminating evidence” against him.
