Click to play videoNew Delhi: The man accused of engineering anti-sikh riots in 1984 might just get a clean chit. Sources Say that former Union Minister Jagdish Tytler is most likely to be let off by the CBI in its final report.
"It looks like the CBI doesn't want the public to know what's in the report. CBI wants to delay it because elections are going on," says Prosecution lawyer, H S Phoolka.
The PM had dropped Tytler from his cabinet after the Nanawati commission said that there was credible evidence of his involvement in the 1984 riots . Tytler however remains defiant.
"Eight commissions have found nothing against me. I suffered because of a lie. I'm a clean politician," says Congress Leader, Jagdish Tytler.
The congress has already given Tytler a ticket to contest the Lok sabha elections from the North East Delhi constituency. The opposition alleges the probe smells of political collusion
"CBI is now the Congress Bureau of Investigation," says BJP leader Prakash Javdekar.
CBI filed the report after examining the California-based witness Jasbir Singh. Sources say that the agency has found Jasbirs testimony inconsistent.
Singh had told the Nanavati Commission that on November 3, 1984 he had overheard Tytler commenting on the killing of Sikhs in his constituency.
The fate of this long running legal battle and that of Jagdish Tytler is sealed in the envelope. Only on April 2 will we get to know conclusively whether there will be a closure report favoring Tytler or a charge sheet indicting him.
