A Delhi court is likely to hear on Friday, CBI’s closure report in a case against senior Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate (ACMM) Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler had issued notice to complainant and victim, Lakhvinder Kaur, whose husband Badal Singh was killed during the riots, to respond to the closure report on Friday.
The filing of the closure report by CBI was protested by the victim’s counsel, who asked why was this done “secretly”. The court had earlier said “perusal of record revealed that the cancellation report was also filed earlier as regards accused Jagdish Tytler”. This was the third time that Tytler was given a clean chit in the case by the investigating agency. CBI said it has conducted further probe in the case, as directed by a sessions court, and filed a closure report in the matter.
