A Delhi court today awarded life-term imprisonment to former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar in a murder case connected to the 1984 anti-Sikh riots.
Special judge Kaveri Baweja pronounced the judgement for the murders of Jaswant Singh and his son Tarundeep Singh on November 1, 1984.
The prosecution and the victims’ family had demanded the maximum punishment. Kumar was already serving a life sentence for another riot-related murder case, and his appeal is pending in the Supreme Court. Other appeals related to his acquittal and convictions are also under review in higher courts.
