AAP leader and senior advocate HS Phoolka on Thursday issued a statement on the issue of SIT to probe the 1984 anti Sikh riots. He said SIT appointed by the central government is actually a committee and does not have the powers of investigation under the Code of Criminal Procedure (CrPC).
“It has been reported in the media that the BJP’s central government has finally appointed a SIT comprising a retired judge and two officers to probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Similar committees comprising retired judges and police officers have been appointed earlier too. Three committees were set-up comprising a retired judge and police officers,” said Phookla in his statement.
