New Delhi: Lieutenant-Governor Najeeb Junj gave a nod to the Delhi government’s recommendations for a probe by Special Investigation Team (SIT) on the 1984-anti Sikh riots. Speaking over the decision, senior lawyer of Delhi High Court H S Phoolka said, under the SIT probe, all those cases which were closed or shown untraced would be re-opened, re-investigated and if the need arises fresh FIRs would be registered.
The Delhi Government last week had recommended to Jung to set up a SIT to probe the anti-Sikh riots within a time frame of one year. Delhi Government’s decision to form SIT came against the backdrop of Congress Vice-President Rahul Gandhi admitting some of the partymen were probably involved in the violence.
