NEW DELHI: In a scathing report on the way the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases were handled by the police, administration and even judiciary, a Supreme Court appointed SIT has said there was no intention of punishing the culprits and acquittals were “handed over by judges” to the accused in a “routine manner”.
The report of the SIT, headed by retired Delhi High Court judge Justice S N Dhingra, has said that “whole efforts” of police and administration “seem to have been to hush up the criminal cases concerning riots”.
The cases were registered to give “clean chit” to certain persons, it said. (AGENCIES)
