1984 anti-Sikh riots: CBI to file status report

New Delhi, March 19: The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) is on Wednesday expected to file its status report on its re-investigation into the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case involving Congress leader Jagdish Tytler.
A city court hearing the case on March 12 pulled up the investigating agency for failing to file a status report and asked it to do so in a week.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjiv Jain while hearing the case said, “I have not asked you to file a charge sheet but a status report in the case. It was your duty to file the report."
However on its part, CBI counsel Sanjay Kumar informed the court that since the re-investigation was ordered on December 18 it has questioned four witnesses in the case.
The investigating agency has also contacted a US-based NRI Jasbir Singh, who is a key witness and had volunteered to depose in the case after the CBI gave a clean chit to Congress leader Tytler.
A matter related to Singh`s testimony is pending before the Delhi High Court. Singh had earlier expressed his inability to come to the country for recording his testimony and had expressed his willingness to record his testimony through video-conferencing.
