The riots broke out and Congress leader Sajjan Kumar, Congress MLA Kishan Khokhar and Mahendra Yadav agitated people to kill and burn Sikhs and burn down Gurudwara in Rajnagar part1 of Palam colony in South West Delhi.
Alongwith Sajjan Kumar, former Congress Councillor Balwan Khokhar and retired captain Bhagmal have been convicted and sentenced by the court for killing and burning 5 Sikhs.
This is the first punishment in 1984 Anti Sikh Riots, which came after 34 years of tough fighting and waiting. The punishment to Congress leader Sajjan Kumar has given some solace to aggrieved Sikhs, whom near and dear ones were brutally murdered in the guise of riots.
