A Delhi court on Wednesday convicted Congress MP Sajjan Kumar in a case over the murders of two persons in Saraswati Vihar area during the anti-Sikh riots.<\/p>\n
Special judge Kaveri Baweja passed the conviction order and posted the arguments on sentence on Feburary 18.<\/p>\n
Kumar was produced before court from Tihar jail for the pronouncement.<\/p>\n
The case relates to the killings of Jaswant Singh and his son Tarundeep Singh on November 1, 1984.<\/p>\n
Though Punjabi Bagh police station registered the case initially, a special investigation team later took over the investigation.<\/p>\n
On December 16, 2021, the court framed charges against Kumar, finding a “prima facie” case against him.<\/p>\n
According to the prosecution, a huge mob, armed with deadly weapons, resorted to large-scale looting, arson and destruction of properties of Sikhs to avenge the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.<\/p>\n
The mob attacked the house of the complainant, Jaswant’s wife, killing her husband and son apart from looting articles and setting their house ablaze, alleged the prosecution.<\/p>\n
Putting Kumar on trial, the court order found sufficient material to form a “prima facie opinion that he was not only a participant, but had also led the mob”.\u00a0<\/p>\n
