Sajjan Kumar is now serving life imprisonment in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. The Delhi High Court had convicted him and others in the case on December 17, 2018.
The high court had reversed the acquittal of Kumar by the trial court in 2013 in the case related to killings of five Sikhs in Raj Nagar Part-I area in Palam Colony in southwest Delhi on November, 1984, and burning down of a gurdwara in Raj Nagar Part-II. The riots had broken out after the assassination of then prime minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984 by her two Sikh bodyguards.
