1984 anti-Sikh riots debate: Justice after 34 years

The Delhi Patiala House court on Tuesday is set to pronounce a quantum of punishment to the two convicts Naresh Sherawat and Yashpal Singh in 1984 anti-Sikh riots. This comes after Additional Sessions Judge Ajay Pandey reserved the order for November 20. Naresh Sherawat and Yashpal Singh have been accused of killing Hardev Singh and Avtar Singh in Mahipalpur area of South Delhi during the riots.

This is the first conviction in the cases reopened by the Special Investigation Team (SIT), set up in 2015. Delhi police had closed the case in 1994 for want of evidence.
