AMN / NEW DELHI

A Delhi court has granted sanction for the prosecution of Congress leader Jagdish Tytler, an accused in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, in a special court.

The court has transferred the supplementary chargesheet against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler along with the sanction for his prosecution in a Special MP-MLA court. The court will hear the matter on 8th of this month.

In April, Tytler appeared before the CBI and gave samples of his voice in connection with the case for the Central Forensic Science Laboratory (CFSL) to examine. Tytler is accused of leading a mob in the 1984 Pul Bangash case in which three Sikhs were killed.

The CBI had given a clean chit to the Congress leader in the case but re-opened the investigation following a December 4, 2015 order.
