**New Delhi, February 21, 2025** – A Delhi court has reserved its judgment on the sentencing of Congress leader Sajjan Kumar in connection with the 1984 anti-Sikh riots. The court will announce the sentence on February 25th.
Kumar was found guilty earlier in the case. During Friday’s hearing, the complainant, whose husband and son were killed in the riots, appealed for the death penalty, arguing that Kumar’s actions constituted genocide and crimes against humanity. The complainant’s lawyer, senior advocate H.S. Phoolka, emphasized the severity of the crimes and the accused’s role in instigating the mob violence.
The court has granted Kumar’s counsel two days to submit written arguments before the sentencing on February 25th.
