New Delhi: A Delhi court has acquitted former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in a case related to violence in Janakpuri and Vikaspuri areas of the capital during the 1984 Sikh riots.
Special judge DIG Vinay Singh had reserved the verdict for January 22 after the final arguments in the case were completed in December last year. In February 2015, the Special Investigation Team had registered two FIRs against Sajjan Kumar based on complaints of violence during the riots in Janakpuri and Vikaspuri in Delhi.
The first FIR was about the violence in Janakpuri, where two persons, Sohan Singh and his son-in-law Avtar Singh, were killed on November 1, 1984. The second FIR was registered in the case of Gurcharan Singh, who was allegedly set on fire in Vikaspuri on November 2, 1984.
