Anti-Sikh Riots Case: Delhi Court to Decide on Framing Charges Against Jagdish Tytler

Anti-Sikh Riots Case

Delhi’s Rouse Avenue Court is expected to issue an order on August 30 regarding whether to frame charges against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the killing of three individuals at Pul Bangash during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

Special CBI Judge Rakesh Siyal reserved the order after seeking some clarifications from the parties involved.

“There are no further clarifications required. I am reserving the order for August 30,” the judge stated.

In its charge sheet filed in May 2023, the CBI accused Tytler, a former Union Minister, of “inciting, instigating, and provoking the mob” that had gathered near the Pul Bangash gurdwara on November 1, 1984.

According to the charge sheet, Tytler emerged from a white ambassador car in front of the gurdwara and incited the mob by shouting, “Kill the Sikhs, they have killed our mother!” The mob, enraged by the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards a day earlier, then killed three people.

In August 2023, a sessions court had granted anticipatory bail to Tytler in on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and a surety of the same amount. The central probe agency has charged Tytler under Sections 147 (rioting), 109 (abetment), and 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), among other provisions.
