Former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar was today chargesheeted by CBI in a Delhi Court in two separate cases relating to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.

The agency filed its investigation report in the court of Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Kaveri Baweja.

The cases in which the chargesheets were filed against Kumar and others were registered in police stations — Sultanpuri and Delhi Cantt — following the killing of seven and five persons respectively in the riots that broke out after the assassination of the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi.

The investigating agency also filed a closure report in a case registered with the Mongolpuri police station in which one person was killed in the carnage.
