Ex-MP Sajjan Kumar convicted in 1984 riots case related to murder of 2 Sikhs
India TodayFormer Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was on Wednesday convicted by a Delhi court related to the killings of two Sikhs in Delhi during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Kumar, who is currently lodged in Tihar Jail after his conviction in another murder case related to the riots, was accused of leading a mob and instigating it to kill Jaswant Singh and his son Tarundeep Singh in Saraswati Vihar area in Delhi on November 1, 1984. The veteran Congress leader has previously been convicted in several cases related to abetment, making inflammatory speeches against Sikhs, and disrupting communal harmony. After the Narendra Modi-led government came to power in 2014, it set up a three-member Special Investigation Team to reinvestigate the cases of the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
