Ludhiana, Senior advocate HS Phoolka has called upon Sukhbir Singh Badal, the president of the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD), to ensure that chargesheets be filed against two main accused in the 1984 carnage by November 1.
He said if chargesheets were not filed against Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar, there would be no doubt that the NDA and the SAD governments were shielding the accused. He said in such a case, they would start an agitation against both the parties.
Phoolka said, “The 30th anniversary of the 1984 carnage is approaching, but most of the crucial cases are still being investigated by the CBI. The instance of a charge sheet against Sajjan Kumar going missing shows that the government is willing to go to any extent to shield the guilty.”
He said the case pertained to the killings of 4 Sikhs in Nangloi Police Station. After concluding the investigation, chargesheet was prepared and signed by the investigation officer and the ACP on 08/04/1992. However, 22 years had passed and that chargesheet had not been filed in the court, Phoolka said.
He said now the NDA and the SAD should ensure that the chargesheets were filed since they had been raising the issue during the UPA rule.
Phoolka said the case against Jagdish Tytler was also lying pending with the CBI. This case pertains to the murder of three Sikhs at Gurudwara Pull Bangash, Delhi, on November 1, 1984. The court had rejected the clean chit the CBI had given to Jagdish Tytler and ordered that the matter be investigated further.
