Three Sikhs were burnt alive in a communal riot in Delhi’s Gurdrawa Pul Bangash, Bara Hindu Rao area, on November 1, 1984.
One of those killed was the husband of survivor Lakhwinder Kaur, the complainant in the case. She had challenged CBI’s closure report and Delhi’s Karkardooma courts had in 2015 asked the CBI to re-examine the issue. Kaur pleaded in her application that the CBI had not done enough to trace one Narinder Singh, son of a riot witness, Surinder Singh Granthi, who was allegedly paid off by Tytler.
A prime witness in the case, Abhishek Verma, recently underwent lie detector test after earlier telling the CBI that in 2004 and 2005, Tytler had asked him to send Narinder Singh to Canada and he had in fact arranged for Narinder Singh to be sent to Canada.
