A Delhi court is likely to pass on August 30 an order on whether to frame the charges against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in a case related to the killing of three people at Pul Bangash during the 1984-anti Sikh riots.
Special CBI judge Rakesh Siyal today reserved the order after getting some clarifications from the parties.
"There are no further clarifications required. I am reserving the order for August 30," the judge said.
In its charge sheet filed in May 2023, the CBI had accused Tytler, a former union minister, of "inciting, instigating and provoking the mob" which had assembled near the Pul Bangash gurdwara on November 1, 1984.
Citing a witness, it claimed, Tytler alighted from a white ambassador car in front of the gurudwara and instigated the mob, shouting "Kill the Sikhs, they have killed our mother!" Three people were then done to death by the mob that was enraged over the assassination of Prime Minister Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards a day before.
A sessions court had in August last year granted anticipatory bail to Tytler in the case on a personal bond of Rs 1 lakh and surety of the like amount.
The central probe agency has invoked charges under Sections 147 (rioting), 109 (abetment) read with 302 (murder) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC), among others, against Tytler.
