Jagdish Tytler Denies 1984 Sikh Riots Charges
News summary

Congress leader Jagdish Tytler has denied all charges against him in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, specifically the killing of three Sikhs near Gurudwara Pul Bangash. The Delhi Rouse Avenue Court framed charges against Tytler on August 30, citing sufficient evidence provided by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI). The charges include murder, unlawful assembly, rioting, and incitement to violence. Tytler has pleaded not guilty and has demanded a trial, with the court scheduling the recording of evidence for October 3. The prosecution argues that eyewitnesses, despite delayed testimonies, have consistently identified Tytler as the instigator of the violence. The court has noted the brutal nature of the riots and the fear that initially prevented witnesses from coming forward.
