On December 16, 2021, the court framed charges against Kumar, finding a &#8220;prima facie&#8221; case against him.  According to the prosecution, a huge mob, armed with deadly weapons, resorted to large-scale looting, arson and destruction of properties of Sikhs to avenge the assassination of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. <\/p>\n<p>The mob attacked the house of the complainant, Jaswant&#8217;s wife, killing her husband and son apart from looting articles and setting their house ablaze, alleged the prosecution. <\/p>\n<p>Putting Kumar on trial, the court order found sufficient material to form a &#8220;prima facie opinion that he was not only a participant, but had also led the mob&#8221;.<\/p>\n<style><![CDATA[\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand p, #stock_pro.onDemand p{font-size: 14px;line-height: 1.28;}\n    \t    .onDemand .live_stock{left:17px;padding:1px 3px 1px 5px;font-size:12px;font-weight:600;line-height:18px;top:9px}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{margin:0 auto 0;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc{color: #024d99;margin-top:10px;}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .crypto .live_stock .lb-icon{8px 6px 5px 3px !important}\n    \t    #sr_widget.crypto.onDemand a.text{border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;padding-bottom:5px;display:block;width:100%}\n    \t    #sr_widget.onDemand .sr_desc .text p, #stock_pro.onDemand .sr_desc .text p{font-size:12px;font-weight:400;}\n    \t]]><\/style>\n<p><!--\/article_liveblog.cms?msid=105115637&pos=botpotime:1--><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/india\/1984-anti-sikh-riots-verdict-in-murder-case-against-sajjan-kumar-on-january-8\/articleshow\/116354866.cms\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Delhi court is likely deliver on January 8 next year its verdict in a 1984 anti-Sikh riots case against former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar.
