The Supreme Court instructed the CBI to respond to Balwan Khokhar’s plea for suspension of his sentence related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Khokhar, currently 66 and facing health issues, argues that the jail’s rejection of his furlough request was unfounded. The case highlights the tension between justice for victims and humanitarian considerations for aging convicts.
Today(on 19th July), The Rouse Avenue Court reserved its decision on framing charges against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in a CBI case related to the 1984 Sikh killings. The court will announce its order on August 2. The case revolves around the killing of three Sikhs after the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.
