New Delhi: Government has referred to CBI the anti-Sikh riot cases against Congress leaders Jagdish Tytler, Sajjan Kumar and Dharam Dass Shastri and asked it to examine if they should be reopened or investigated.
CBI sources said that the Union Home Ministry has referred 10 riot cases, including those related to Tytler, Kumar and Shastri, to it on Thursday.
"We will see whether the cases registered by Delhi Police after the riots should be reopened or investigated by CBI. Thereafter, the CBI will decide what appropriate action should be taken," the sources said.
The Nanavati Commission, which had probed the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, had suggested in its report to the government to examine whether cases against Tytler, Kumar and Shastri could be looked into.
