A Delhi court reserved its decision in the high-profile 1984 anti-Sikh riots case involving former Congress MP Sajjan Kumar. The ruling, set for January 22, follows extensive final arguments that concluded recently.

Special Judge Dig Vinay Singh presided over the proceedings, with Kumar brought to court under intensified security measures. The case stems from two FIRs filed by a special investigation team in February 2015, following complaints of violence in Delhi's Janakpuri and Vikaspuri areas during the riots.

The first FIR relates to the tragic deaths of Sohan Singh and his son-in-law Avtar Singh on November 1, 1984, in Janakpuri. The second involves Gurcharan Singh, who was allegedly set on fire on November 2, 1984, in Vikaspuri.
