The victims of 1984 anti-Sikh riots on Thursday moved an application before a court here seeking further probe against the clean chit given by the CBI to former Union Minister Jagdish Tytler.

In its closure report against Tytler, the CBI had claimed that there was no evidence to prove that the Congress had incited the mob which had set afire a gurudwara in East Delhi on November one, 1984. The mob fury had left two persons — Thakur Singh and Badal Singh — killed.

Tytler’s name had surfaced in three affidavits out of which one person retracted, while the second one, Jasbir Singh had claimed before the Justice Nanavati Commission that he had heard Tytler allegedly inciting the mob.

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) decided to close the case against the former union minister, Jasbir Singh.

The CBI said that he  could not be traced as he was abroad.

Manmohan Kaur, daughter of one of the victims, claimed that she had heard Tytler leading the mob but could not provide any other details.

In its affidavit before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjeev Jain, Delhi Sikh Gurdawara and November’84 Carnage Justice Committee claimed that the CBI had not investigated into the conspiracy angle of the case.

It said that the witness, Jasbir SIngh, needed to be traced by the CBI.

The court after hearing the case, fixed November 29 as the next date of hearing and also issued a notice to the CBI on the application moved on Thursday.
