Life Imprisonment for Sajjan Kumar in 1984 Anti-Sikh Riots Case
NEW DELHI: In a significant ruling, a special court has awarded life imprisonment to former Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This conviction is particularly poignant as it addresses the tragic events that unfolded in November 1984, where a father-son duo was murdered in Delhi’s Saraswati Vihar.
Details of the Conviction
Kumar was found guilty of instigating and leading a mob responsible for the heinous act during the riots. This recent judgment adds to his already serving life sentence in another riot-related murder case. The public prosecutor has argued for the death penalty, referencing precedents such as the Nirbhaya case, while Kumar’s legal team has submitted written arguments for consideration. The court has scheduled further sentencing discussions for February 21.
The Impact on Society
This ruling not only addresses a dark chapter in India’s history but also serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for justice in riot-related cases. The ramifications of such events continue to echo in society, emphasizing the need for accountability and healing.
