1984 Anti-Sikh Riots: No Fresh FIR Against Tytler, CBI Informs Court
CBI today told a Delhi court that no fresh FIR has been lodged against Congress leader Jagdish Tytler, who has been given clean chit in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, on allegations of influencing witness and money laundering.
CBI's reply came while responding to the court's query whether the agency has registered any case against Tytler under sections 193 (punishment for false evidence), 195A (threatening a person to give false evidence) of IPC and the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA).
"An application has been moved on behalf of victim to know from CBI as to whether an FIR or separate complaint has been registered under sections 193 and 195 of IPC and PMLA.
"In this regard question has been asked by the court to the public prosecutor. He says no separate FIR has been filed. The application stands disposed of," Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Saurabh Pratap Singh Laler said.

Tribune News Service
Amritsar, June 6
Panic gripped devotees at the Golden Temple complex following a clash between the SGPC task force and Sikh youths that left five persons injured. The violence erupted hours after the event to mark the Operation Bluestar anniversary passed off peacefully. It is the second successive year that the Golden Temple complex witnessed violence on the Operation Bluestar anniversary.
Some youths were seen moving around in the 'parikarma', brandishing 'kirpans', causing fear among the devotees. Sources said the SGPC task force pleaded with them to leave. However, they entered into an argument that finally led to a tiff between the two sides in the afternoon.
The task force, which outnumbered the youths, handed them to the police. The free-for-all saw the devotees running for cover, many of whom hid in rooms adjacent to the 'parikarma'.
