CBI takes over anti-Sikh riots case against Tytler

The Central Bureau of Investigation on Tuesday said it was taking over the investigation into the alleged involvement of former Union minister Jagdish Tytler and two Delhi police officials in a 1984 anti-Sikh riot case.

CBI counsel R S Jamuar informed Delhi high court Justice Anil Dev Singh that the investigating agency would go into the first information reports 633 and 639 of October-November 1984 relating to the complaints of three riot victims who lost their relatives during the riots.

The three riot victims -- Rajwant Kaur, her brother Dilbagh Singh and daughter-in-law Balwinder Kaur -- had complained that their relatives were killed by a mob allegedly incited by Tytler and the two police officials.

The Delhi police stated that though the complaint of the petitioners were received and registered, the case was subsequently closed as the complaint was 'misplaced'.

The probe was transferred to the CBI from the Delhi police, which had been in charge of the 1984 riots cases, by a high court order of August 26.
