Sukhbir tells Jharkhand CM to reopen 1984 riot cases

Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) president Sukhbir Singh Badal on Sunday urged Jharkhand Chief Minister (CM) Raghubar Das to ensure the reopening or transfer of all 1984 anti-Sikh riot cases to the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).
He said the party would send a team of lawyers from the Supreme Court to study these cases before taking up the matter at the highest level.
Addressing a congregation as part of the 550th birth anniversary celebrations of Guru Nanak Dev here, the SAD president said more than 100 Sikhs were brutally killed in Bokaro in 1984.

He said it was unfortunate that not a single accused had been convicted and punished so far for such a heinous crime.
“We will fight for every victim family and justice would be delivered to them at all costs,” he said.
