The US-based witness, whose testimony seems crucial in a 1984 anti-Sikh case involving Jagdish Tytler, on Tuesday asked the Central Bureau of Investigation to record his statement in California alleging threat to his life in India.
"In view of threats to my life (in coming back), the officials of CBI should come here (California) to record my statement in the case," Jasbir Singh was quoted by news channel NDTV in a telephonic interview.
He also said that he would reveal everything to them.
Singh, currently living in California, had in an affidavit before Nanavati Commission had stated that on November 3, 1984 he had overheard Tytler rebuking his men for nominal killing of Sikhs in his constituency.
Singh was declared untraceable by the CBI in a court. But his address was later furnished in court by lawyers representing the victims' family. Following this the court ordered the agency to reinvestigate the case involving Congress leader.
In his interview, Singh said, "My statements should be recorded through video-conferencing and be revealed to the general public so that they could know (what had happened). I shall be grateful to the court."
