The case against Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in the 1984-anti Sikh riots took a fresh turn on Thursday when another witness identified him and a co-accused before a Delhi court in connection with the killing of her father by a mob.
Nirpreet Kaur (42) deposed before a Karkardooma court on how former councillor Balwan Khokhar and former MLA Mahender Yadav set her father Nirmal Singh on fire. “The mob caught hold of my father, poured kerosene oil on him... Inspector Kaushik gave a matchbox to Kishan, who set my father on fire,” she submitted before the Additional Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta. “To save himself, my father jumped into a drain. The mob then returned. Dhanraj gave ropes from his shop. Captain Bhagmal tied my father to a telephone pole and he was again set on fire.” She was 16 at the time of the incident.
