Home Ministry On 1984 Riots

The Delhi High Court has sought the Centre's response on a plea by one of the convicts in 1984 anti-Sikh riots challenging the legality of the Home Ministry's order for setting up a Special Investigation Team (SIT) to reinvestigate the cases.

A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was set up by the government today for fresh investigation into the 1984 anti-Sikh riots cases in Delhi and some other states. An order on setting up of the SIT was issued by the Union Home Ministry this evening, official sources said.

17 Delhi families who lost people in the 1984 anti-Sikh riots today received five lakh rupee cheques from Home Minister Rajnath Singh in a move that the BJP's critics say is linked to polls in the capital early next year.
