1984 anti-Sikh riots: Court summons former police officers in case against Jagdish Tytler

New Delhi: A Delhi court has summoned two former police officers as witnesses in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case involving Congress leader Jagdish Tytler. The case pertains to the killing of three Sikhs at Gurdwara Pul Bangash during the riots.

Special CBI Judge Jitendra Singh, who was scheduled to record the statement of witness Manmohan Kaur, was informed by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) that the summons could not be delivered to her address. The court granted the agency additional time to reissue the summons.

In addition, the court summoned former police officers Dharam Chandrashekhar and Ravi Sharma to testify in the case. They have been directed to appear on December 2, the next date of the hearing.

Jagdish Tytler attended the proceedings via video conferencing.
