A Delhi court has directed the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to frame charges against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots case. The Rouse Avenue Court deferred the pronouncement of the order on framing charges earlier in the day but later proceeded with the directive. This development marks a significant step in the long-standing legal proceedings related to the riots that occurred following the assassination of then-Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The case has been a point of contention, with delays in the judicial process causing frustration among victims and the Sikh community.
