NEW DELHI: After 25 years, Sajjan Kumar is facing the heat of the anti-Sikh riots. The CBI on Monday opposed the anticipatory bail of the former parliamentarian, who is accused in two Delhi riot cases, saying he may influence witnesses.
Arguing that the case was sensitive in nature and people’s emotions were attached to it, CBI said, “although no complaint was registered against Sajjan and other accused in the case, the fact is that the witnesses are scared and did not feel safe.”
The court also dismissed similar pleas of six co-accused — Peru, Mahender Yadav, Brahma Nand Gupta, Balwant Khokhar, Krishan Khokhar and Ved Prakash. CBI had chargesheeted 13, including Sajjan Kumar, on January 13, for allegedly making provocative speeches leading to the killing of 12 persons.
