Will study order to decide future course of action: CBI
Published on: 

CBI, whose clean chit to Congress leader  Jagdish Tytler in a 1984 anti-Sikh riot case  as  rejected by a court   here, said today it will study the verdict before deciding the course of  action.

            CBI spokesperson Dharini Mishra said the agency will study the orders  of the  Court and decide on future course of action.

            Agency sources, meanwhile, manintained that they had sent a team  to record the  statement of the witness based in the United States   of America but his statements were  not found to have any evidential value.

            They said the witness had given them three more names who had claimed  to have  the information of Tytler's alleged role in the anti-Sikh  riots which shook the city after  he  assasination of the then Prime  Minister Indira Gandhi on October 31, 1984 by her Sikh bodyguards.

            The sources claimed the persons named by the US-based witness were  not found  to be genuine.

            Asked about the future course of action by the agency, they said  it would depend  on the directive issued by the court and CBI is ready  to probe again if the orders are for  examination of only two-three witnesses.

            CBI had filed closure report in the case saying the probe has made  it clear that  Tytler was not present on November 1, 1984 at Gurudwara  Pulbangash in North Delhi  where three people were killed during the riots.

            Additional Sessions Judge Anuradha Shukla Bhardwaj today set aside  the order  of a  magisterial court which accepted CBI's closure report.
