27 years later, preliminary probe conducted

REWARI: 27 years after the carnage in which around 32 persons of Sikh families were killed by a mob, the Gurgaon divisional commissioner visited Hondh Chillar for preliminary inquiry into the incident.

The Haryana government had sought preliminary report about the incident from the commissioner two days ago. Divisional commissioner TK Sharma was accompanied by Rewari deputy commissioner Ajit Joshi and other officials from the revenue department on Thursday.

A Sikh body has dug out the horrific details of the massacre recently stating that a mob had completely wiped out a helmet of Sikhs adjoining the Chillar village on November 2, 1984, three days after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
