Jagdish Tytler: Update of 1984 case

Date: 2nd Dec’ 2009

I have been all along been telling through the media and through all other source available to me that I am not involved in the 1984 riots. Now the CBI who was enquiring that did I have any role to play or not, yesterday in the court of CBI this is what the conclusion drawn by CBI.

As appeared in the Indian Express (page 3, dated: 2nd Dec’2009) in which the CBI sited statements of witnesses including an eye witness Surinder Singh who claim there was nothing incriminating against the congress leader to indict Jagdish Tytler. The CBI justified its closure report in favour of Tytler before Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Rakesh Pandit at the Karkardooma court.

The CBI referred to three separate affidavits submitted by Surinder Singh to term him as “unreliable”. The CBI agency contended that the witness, in his latest statements, had clearly said he was not present near the Gurdwara Pulbangash on the day of incident. And that he has signed the first affidavit against Tytler to avail compensation but it was tempered by the lawyer.

It also read out the statements of Surinder Singh’s father and son corroborating the claims that Surinder Singh had lied in his first affidavit and further that Tytler was not a part of the rioting mob.

CBI also played a compact disc, in which Surinder Singh was shown to have denied making any allegation against Jagdish Tytler.

On the last date, the CBI produced a CD before the court to claim that Jagdish Tytler was present at the residence of Gandhi and not at the riot site.


Affidavits which have been produced in the court have all blamed phoolka who supposed to be helping the people who lost their lives. Have been found to be actually tempering with the records and this has been revealed in the affidavit by surinder singh to CBI, to the Court and to the PM.
