Delhi court acquits ex-Congress MP Sajjan Kumar in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case

A Delhi court on Thursday acquitted former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar in a case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots, providing relief to the accused in proceedings linked to incidents of violence in the Janakpuri and Vikaspuri areas of the national capital.

The order was pronounced by the Rouse Avenue Court, where the case had been pending after the conclusion of final arguments last month.

The violence covered under the case had resulted in two deaths, according to the prosecution.

The court had earlier reserved its order on December 22, fixing January 22 for the pronouncement of the verdict.
