From the National Herald case to the IRCTC scam, major 2025 Delhi court cases drew nationwide attention. High-profile politicians like Sonia Gandhi, Rahul Gandhi, and Lalu Prasad Yadav faced scrutiny, while courts also dealt with terror incidents including the 26/11 Mumbai attack and the Red Fort blast.
Today, On 25th February, Former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar has been sentenced to life imprisonment for his role in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The court found him guilty of inciting violence and murder during the riots. Victims’ families see this as delayed justice but an important step towards accountability.
Today, On 25th February, Before Sajjan Kumar’s sentencing in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, some Sikh community members have demanded the death penalty for him. They argue that the crime, involving murder and large-scale violence, qualifies as a ‘rarest of the rare’ case. According to them, he deserves the maximum punishment under the law.
