Ex-Delhi Cop Claims None Died In 1984 Anti-Sikh Riot

New Delhi, Sep 8: A former Delhi police constable, deposing as a defence witness in a 1984 anti-Sikh riot case involving former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar, Thursday told a Delhi court he was on duty during those tumultuous days and he did not come across any report of any killing or rioting.

Sajjan Kumar, along with five others, is facing trial for allegedly instigating a mob which killed six persons in Delhi Cantonment area during the riots in the wake of the assassination of erstwhile Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

75-year-old Chajju Ram, while deposing in defence of Kumar before Additional Sessions Judge Sunita Gupta said that during October 31, 1984, and November 6, 1984, it never came to his notice that "any Sikh in the (Raj Nagar-II) locality was killed or Sikhs' houses were looted and ransacked."
