Congress leader Jagdish Tytler, accused of murder during the anti-Sikh riots of 1984, is out on bail granted by a sessions court on a bond and surety of Rs 1 lakh each.
Congress leader Jagdish Tytler on Friday pleaded not guilty to charges - including murder and provocation with intent to cause riot - relating to the killing of three men outside Delhi's Pul Bangash gurdwara during the anti-Sikh riots of 1984.
A Delhi court, two weeks ago, had ordered framing of the charges, ruling enough evidence had been provided by the Central Bureau of Investigation for the case to proceed to a trial.
Apart from murder and intent to cause a riot, Tytler faces charges of unlawful assembly, rioting, disobedience to order, defiling a place of worship, abetment), mischief by fire, and theft.
