Jagdish Tytler Seeks Virtual Appearance Permission In 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots Case

Jagdish Tytler, a Congress leader accused in the Pul Bangash killings during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, on Thursday filed a plea before a Delhi court to participate via video conferencing, citing security concerns.

Advocate Manu Sharma stated, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Vidhi Gupta Anand is likely to pass an order on Tytler’s request tomorrow.

This appeal arises from a protest by the Sikh community during Tytler’s previous in-person appearance on August 5.

Tytler, a former union minister, had his bail bond accepted by the court on August 5. The matter is scheduled for further hearing on August 11.

Previously, a sessions court granted Tytler anticipatory bail, subject to a personal bond of Rs.1 lakh and one surety of equivalent value.

It had also imposed certain conditions, including the requirement that he refrains from tampering with evidence or leaving the country without court permission.

Following the court’s recognition of a charge sheet on July 26, Tytler was summoned by the magisterial court.

The case pertains to the Pul Bangash area in Delhi where three individuals were killed, and a gurdwara was set ablaze on November 1, 1984, a day after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards.
