Jagdish Tytler
On Saturday, officials said the CBI filed a charge sheet against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the Pul Bangash case, which is linked to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
On November 1, 1984, three persons were slain and a gurdwara was set on fire in the Pul Bangash area, a day after then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated.
According to the charge sheet filed before a special court, Tytler “incited, instigated and provoked the mob assembled at Pul Bangash Gurdwara Azad Market” on November 1, 1984, which resulted in the burning down of the gurdwara and the deaths of three Sikhs—Thakur Singh, Badal Singh, and Guru Charan Singh.
The CBI has filed charges against Tytler under Sections 147 (rioting), 109 (abetment), and 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).
“The charges will be heard in court on June 2”, they added.
