New Delhi, June 26:- The CBI today told a Delhi court that no fresh FIR has been lodged against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler, who has been given clean chit in a 1984 anti-Sikh violence case, relating to allegations of influencing witness and money laundering.
CBI’s reply came while responding to the court’s query whether any case had been registered against Tytler under sections 193 (punishment for false evidence), 195A (threatening a person to give false evidence) of IPC and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act.
“An application has been moved on behalf of victim to know from CBI as to whether an FIR or separate complaint has been registered under sections 193 and 195 of IPC and PMLA. In this regard question has been asked by the court to the public prosecutor. He says no separate FIR has been filed. The application stands disposed of,” Additional chief metropolitan magistrate Saurabh Pratap Singh said.
The court has now fixed the case for July 30 for filing of protest petition against CBI’s third closure report giving clean chit to Tytler in the case.
Senior advocate HS Phoolka and advocate Kamna Vohra, who were representing the victims, sought four weeks’ time to file the protest petition.
The court had earlier asked CBI to respond to allegations that Tytler had allegedly tried to influence a witness by giving him money and sending his son abroad and also alleged hawala transaction.
During the hearing, Phoolka moved an application seeking status report from CBI as to what action it had taken on the allegations of influencing witness and hawala transaction.
