1984 riots: Sajjan Kumar instigated mob to kill Sikhs, victim reiterates before court

A key prosecution witness in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case Thursday reiterated before a Delhi court that Congress leader Sajjan Kumar had instigated the mob to kill Sikhs.

Denying Kumar's suggestion that she had not named him in her earlier statement given to the Delhi police, Cham Kaur told the court that she always named Kumar as the one who instigated the mob.

While cross-examining her, Kumar's lawyer suggested, "You took names of all the rioters in your statement....But you never named Sajjan Kumar. You are taking his name now."
To this, Kaur said, "I have always taken the name of Sajjan Kumar."
