Delhi court reserves order on sentence for Sajjan Kumar in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, death penalty urged.
A court in New Delhi on Friday (February 21, 2025) reserved for February 25 the order on the quantum of sentence against Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case.
During the hearing, a complainant, whose husband and son were killed by a mob instigated by Kumar, urged the Delhi court to award death penalty to the former Congress MP.
The complaint was submitted through her lawyer before Special judge Kaveri Baweja, who reserved for February 25 the order on quantum of sentence against Kumar.
"The accused being the leader of the mobs instigated others to commit a genocide and crime against humanity and cold-blooded murders, and he deserve nothing less than capital punishment," senior advocate H S Phoolka, appearing for the complainant, told the court.
The court has asked the counsel for Kumar to file his written submission within two days.
