BJP files complaint with cops against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler
The BJP on Monday filed a complaint with the Delhi Police against senior Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
BJP national secretary RP Singh met the additional police commissioner, New Delhi, and filed a complaint which was based on purported video clips concerning the Congress leader.
The video clips were released in a press conference by Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee president Manjit Singh GK.
“It has been requested in the complaint that since the accused can leave the country any time hence he should be arrested immediately and prosecuted under IPC Sections 302, 147/149 and 120-B,” R P Singh said in a statement.
Earlier in the day, Manjit Singh GK said that they would send copies of the video clips to various authorities and demanded arrest of the Congress leader.
“We have a sting of Jagdish Tytler in which he is admitting his role in 1984 killings. We are handing over all proofs to the CBI and it should arrest him immediately,” the Akali Dal leader said.
He also threatened to stage protests and raise voice in Parliament if the CBI did not arrest Tytler.
The sensational claim by the Akali Dal has come to fore after the Supreme Court directed to constitute a fresh three-member Special Investigation Team (SIT), to be headed by a former high court judge, to monitor probe into 186 anti-Sikh riot cases, which had broken out in India after the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards on October 31, 1984.
According to official records, around 2,800 Sikhs were killed across India, including 2,100 in Delhi. —Agencies
