Widow files protest petition against CBI’s clean chit to Tytler

The plea said it was “highly unfortunate that the CBI is able to trace only those witnesses who are deposing in Tytler’s favour”.

Challenging the CBI’s closure report, which gave a clean chit to Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, the widow of one of the men who was killed has filed a protest plea seeking further investigation.

The plea was filed on Friday by Lakhwinder Kaur before the court of additional chief metropolitan magistrate, Saurabh Singh Laler, at the Karkardooma district court.

In the plea filed through advocates H S Phoolka, Kamna Vohra and Shilpa Dewan, Kaur said the CBI “did not record the statements of a witness who was in India at the time and claimed it could not trace him”.

“The details and phone number of witness Narinder Singh, whom the CBI said is untraceable, was supplied to the court on Friday,” said Phoolka.

The plea said it was “highly unfortunate that the CBI is able to trace only those witnesses who are deposing in Tytler’s favour”. It also claimed that the CBI did not made any efforts to investigate allegations of witnesses being influenced, even though businessman Abhishek Verma had alleged that Tytler had requested him to send a material witness to Canada.
