CBI wants to prosecute Tytler, Sajjan: Chidambaram

Over eight months after a shoe was hurled at Union home minister P Chidambaram for the clean chit to Jagdish Tytler and Sajjan Kumar in the anti-Sikh riots, the CBI has sought permission to prosecute the two leaders.

“The CBI has completed investigation of seven cases against Tytler, Kumar and late Dharam Das Shastri,” Chidambaram told Rajya Sabha. In four cases the agency had sought prosecution sanction under Section 196 Cr PC from Delhi lt-governor Tejendra Khanna.

The LG has been advised to take a decision by month-end. The government was “taking all possible steps to bring the guilty to book wherever the Nanavati panel has named specific individuals.”
