Court resumes recording of statements in '84 Sikh riots

NEW DELHI: Following the apex court's dismissal of the plea of former MP Sajjan Kumar to quash all the charges against him pertaining to 1984 anti-sikh riots, a trial court on Wednesday resumed recording of statements of witnesses in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case against the politician.

The proceedings started with the cross-examination of Jagdish Kaur who rejected suggestions that she was implicating the Congress leader at the behest of his political opponents. ''It is incorrect to suggest that the mentioning of Sajjan Kumar was done and his presence in the meeting introduced for the first time at the behest of his political opponents and Gurudwara persons (Akali Dal),'' Kaur, testifying as first prosecution witness, said before additional sessions judge Sunita Gupta.
