“Seeds of hatred have grown high, bloodshed is everywhere/Poisoned breeze in forest turned bamboo flutes into snakes/Their venom has turned the bright and rosy Punjab all blue,” the judges in Delhi high court said while remembering the carnage against Sikhs.
The 1984 Anti Sikh Riots was a series of pogroms organised against Sikhs in India by anti-Sikh mobs, in response to the assassination of Indira Gandhi by her Sikh bodyguards, Independent sources estimates put the number of deaths at about 8,000 – 10,000, Officially the Indian Government put the toll of deaths in Delhi around 2,800 Sikhs.
In 2013, Sajjan Kumar was acquitted by the lower court, but the Delhi High Court has reversed this decision and sentenced him to life imprisonment.
Sajjan Kumar will have to surrender till December 31, Apart from life imprisonment, a penalty of Rs 5 lakh has also been imposed on him, Apart from this, the remaining accused will have to pay one lakh rupees as a fine.
Pertinently, the case was from November 1984 when five members of a Sikh family were murdered in the Rajnagar area of Delhi Cantonment after the assassination of Indira Gandhi.
While judging Sajjan Kumar as guilty for the Anti Sikh Riots in 1984, emotional scenes were witnessed in the Delhi High Court as the Judge of Delhi High Court and the victim’s lawyer started crying during the court secession.
