Delhi court tells CBI to continue 1984 riots probe against Jagdish Tytler

A Delhi court today refused to accept the Central Bureau of Investigation's (CBI) closure report and directed the CBI to further probe the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler.

Saurabh Pratap Singh, Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate ordered the CBI to conduct further investigation and refused to accept the closure report that gives Tytler a clean chit.

Earlier, on 17 November, the CBI had said that it was ready to reopen the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler. The CBI had twice given a clean chit to the Congress leader in connection with this case.

In April 2013, a sessions court had rejected the closure report and ordered the CBI to further investigate the murders.

The CBI had filed another closure report on 24 December, 2014, saying there was not sufficient evidence to proceed against Tytler.
