1984 anti-Sikh riots: Delhi court reserves order against Sajjan Kumar for Jan 22

A Delhi court on Monday, December 22, 2025, reserved its verdict in a case related to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in which former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was also an accused.

Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh postponed the verdict to January 22 after final arguments in the case. Kumar was sent to the courthouse under intense security measures.

In February 2015, a Special Investigation Team registered two FIRs against Kumar based on complaints of violence in Delhi’s Janakpuri and Vikaspuri during the riots.

The first FIR was related to the violence at Janakpuri on November 1, 1984, in which Sohan Singh and his son-in-law Avtar Singh were killed. The second FIR was registered in the case of Gurcharan Singh, who was allegedly set on fire in Vikaspuri on November 2, 1984.
