New Delhi, Dec 18 (IANS) A Delhi court Tuesday ordered the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) to reinvestigate Congress leader Jagdish Tytler's role in inciting mobs during the 1984 anti-Sikh riots in the capital.
Additional Chief Metropolitan Magistrate Sanjeev Jain also asked the CBI to find out the role of Jasbir Singh, said to be a key witness against Tytler.
The CBI had earlier let the former union minister off saying they could not find any witness against him. But Jasbir Singh, who stays in California, has said he is willing to testify against Tytler if his safety is guaranteed.
