The CBI on Monday sought more time from a city court for filing response on a plea by Sajjan Kumar and three other accused in 1984 anti-Sikh riots case, after the Congress leader sought removal of agency’s witnesses.
District judge J.R. Aryan asked the CBI to submit responses on September 30 on the application of the accused. The arguments on the matter will be heard on the same day.
Kumar’s counsel had said in the plea that CBI had filed a consolidated chargesheet of three separate FIRs and the nine prosecution witnesses, who are not related to the murder of victim Surjit Singh, should be removed.
Seeking more time, CBI prosecutor D.P. Singh said the agency has to see files of the old cases which have been decided by other courts long back. He said they have not been able to see the files as yet.
